Dimensions of Student Engagement

Student engagement encompasses ways in which students become active partners in shaping their learning experience. This ranges from students influencing national policy on learning and teaching to students developing their own individual learning agendas. In between there are examples of students engaging in institutional and departmental discussion on curriculum design and delivery.

As part of our work towards developing understanding of student engagement we have developed the spectrum below to map different areas and to prompt debate. You can also use the supporting document to see examples of different types of activities that could fall under each area.
