Summary
This study focused on
psychological and cognitive
school engagement, as these
subtypes have been
overlooked in previous
research (Appleton et al.,
2006). It considered how
these components correlate
with attendance (YOT
measure of engagement),
what the underlying mediators
are and how these
components can be increased.
Self Belief
Competence
Locus of
control
Perceived Value
Link to goals
Negative Affect
Intrinsic interest
Additional engagement
measures needed for YOTs?
Triangulation/support for the
existing engagement literature.
Implications
Teaching is vibrant
and informative
