Student Disengagement
- Student disengagement is a multifaceted, complex, and fluid state
- It involves behavioral, emotional, and cognitive domains
- It's influenced by both intrinsic factors (psychological factors, low motivation, inadequate preparation) and extrinsic factors (competing demands, institutional structure, teaching quality, online learning)
Conceptualisations of Disengagement
- Disengagement can be viewed as a character fault (lack of motivation, negative attitudes)
- It can also be viewed as a lack of engagement, non-participation, or alienation.
- Disengagement can manifest in negative emotional or cognitive aspects, as well as inaction
Factors Influencing Disengagement
- Psychological factors: Stress, emotional distress, low motivation
- Inadequate preparation for university-level study
- Unrealistic expectations about university
- Competing demands (work, family, etc)
Indicators of Disengagement
- Several indicators of academic disengagement are outlined
- These include attendance, class preparation, participation in classes, time spent studying, learning management systems usage, assessment, academic performance, interaction with teachers, collaborating with peers, and overall satisfaction with study.
- Indicators can be self-reported by students or collected by institutions.
Prevention and Intervention
- Many universities conduct generic engagement programs and individual interventions for disengagement
- The design of disengagement prevention and intervention programs should consider best practices, student needs, and individual student engagement levels.
