Student engagement is considered to be among the better predictors of learning, yet there is growing concern that there is no consensus on the conceptual foundation. The authors propose a ...conceptualization of student engagement grounded in A. W. Astin's (
1984
) Student Involvement Theory and W. A. Kahn's (
1990
) employee engagement research where student engagement is built on four components: emotional engagement, physical engagement, cognitive engagement in class, and cognitive engagement out of class. Using this framework the authors develop and psychometrically test a student engagement survey that can be used by researchers to advance engagement theory and by business schools to monitor continuous improvement.
Customer engagement (CE) is a marketing concept of great importance and the rise of social media has further amplified the importance of this concept. Yet, our understanding of the progress of CE ...research remains limited due to the absence of a one-stop state-of-the-art overview of the concept that considers its manifestation on social media. To address this gap, we review CE research on social media since the beginning of the present millennium using the PRISMA protocol for systematic reviews. The outcome of our review reveals the antecedents, decisions, and outcomes; the theories, contexts, and methods; and the ways forward for advancing knowledge, improving representation, and enhancing rigor with respect to future research on CE and social media.
The COVID‐19 pandemic has forced higher education institutions to implement online learning activities based on virtual platforms, allowing little time to prepare and train faculty members to ...familiarize students with digital technologies. While previous studies have looked at how students engaged with digital technologies in their learning activities, the characteristics of the student engagement in online learning remain underexplored. Therefore, a systematic review of the literature on student engagement in online learning in higher education is much needed. This article synthesizes the findings on student engagement in Latin American higher education institutions during the COVID‐19 pandemic. After reviewing the studies on online learning activities, this review examines student engagement from behavioural, cognitive and affective dimensions and identifies the main characteristics of student engagement from these tripartite dimensions. The implications of the findings for online learning in Latin American higher education are as follows: (a) to transform higher education, (b) to provide adequate professional training, (c) to improve Internet connectivity, (d) to ensure quality online learning in higher education and (e) to provide emotional support. These findings will provide valuable guidance for teachers, educational authorities and policy makers and help them make informed decisions to use effective strategies to support online learning in higher education institutions.

In this article, the authors describe the impact of a reader response game in an English language arts classroom. They explore the theoretical intersection of game‐based learning and “good games” and ...transactional theory as a framework for this practice. After incorporating a “good game” of reader response in classes, the authors found that the students increased both their volume of texts read and their engagement across text format/type and genre. The authors conclude by discussing the theoretical and instructional implications of using a reader response style game in the English language arts classroom and beyond.
Most scholars have argued that student engagement positively predicts academic achievement, but some have challenged this view. We sought to resolve this debate by offering conclusive evidence ...through a meta-analysis of 69 independent studies (196,473 participants). The results revealed
that (a) there was a moderately strong and positive correlation between overall student engagement and academic achievement, and an analysis of the domains of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement showed that almost all had a positive correlation with students' academic achievement;
and (b) a moderator analysis revealed that the relationship between student engagement and academic achievement was influenced by the method of reporting engagement, cultural value, and gender. Furthermore, the relationships of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement with academic
achievement were influenced by reporting method for engagement, cultural value, or gender.
•The present study identifies the key antecedents andoutcomes of customer brand engagement in the context of the integrated resort industry.•Results reveal the relative impact of integrated ...resortexperience on cognitive, affective, and behavioral engagements.•Service providers should always be aware of opportunities to build a brand engagement by providing good, unique, and memorable experiences.•Integrated resort managers should be mindful of the individual difference in planning personalized experience, and maintaining engagement.
The present study identifies the key antecedents and outcomes of customer brand engagement in the integrated resort context using a mixed method. A qualitative study reveals that integrated resort brand experience is multidimensional, and varying effects on brand engagement is found from a quantitative study. In particular, sensory and affective experiences all positively influence cognitive engagement. In addition, behavioral experience influences behavioral engagement, whereas intellectual brand experience positively affects cognitive and behavioral engagements with the integrated resort brand. Furthermore, the results show that brand engagements positively influence customers’ behavioral intention in the future. Hypotheses were also tested by employing multi-group structural equation modeling. Male, low-education, and low-income level customers placed more importance on sensory brand experience than female, high-education, and high-income level customers. The findings of this study can provide academicians and practitioners a guide to improve customer engagement and loyalty toward an integrated resort brand.
Der Band greift den Trend zur Etablierung vielfältiger Patenschafts- und Mentoringprojekte in Deutschland auf, der sich vor allem im Bildungsbereich und in der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe beobachten ...lässt. Die Patenschafts- und Mentoringprojekte stehen für eine (neue) Form bürgerschaftlichen bzw. freiwilligen Engagements, was Fragen nach ihrer gesellschaftlichen und individuellen Bedeutung, ihren Wirkungen, ihrer Koordinierung sowie besonderen Herausforderungen aufwirft. Der Band lässt sich nicht einer der Disziplinen zuordnen, sondern enthält Schnittmengen zur Erziehungswissenschaft, zur Soziologie und zur Sozialen Arbeit. Er regt die wissenschaftliche Debatte um Patenschaften und Mentoring an und befördert zugleich die praktische Weiterentwicklung von Projekten und Ansätzen.

Gamification uses game elements such as quests, challenges, levels, and rewards to motivate and engage students in the classroom. Given the engagement that students feel during gameplay, it is ...sensible to include elements of game design to motivate students and create a space for comprehensive vocabulary instruction. Designing a gamified vocabulary curriculum begins with clear learning goals, a careful selection of key terms, and the transformation of activities into quest challenges. This article shares how to design a gamified vocabulary curriculum to scaffold higher order thinking skills. Snapshots and examples of vocabulary gamification, along with suggestions for everyday practice, are included and aligned to the levels of Bloom's taxonomy. A discussion on how gamification supports student autonomy and mastery learning in a goal‐oriented environment is provided.
