“…In teacher education (TE), there is evidence from Germany that TE students experience fewer dropout intentions due to the clear professional perspective compared with students on other programmes (Bohndick, 2020). Studying engagement in teacher education is still relevant as not only it is indicative of student development, but the level and nature of engagement also affects their future performance as teachers (Saini & Abraham, 2021).…”

As the transition to higher education can be challenging for students, it is easy to see how the (partial) closure of higher education institutions during the Covid pandemic posed an even greater challenge to engaging in more self-regulated learning and connecting with faculty and peers. Building on Kahu & Nelson’s (2018) framework, the aim of our study is to better understand student engagement. In the autumn semester of 2020, students on two programmes at a Swiss University of Teacher Education participated in a survey (n=291). Overall, students reported rather low levels of engagement. Our analyses show that factors of the learning environment, such as missed contact with peers as well as educational interface variables (self-efficacy, enjoyment, belonging), can explain differences in engagement.

The primary purpose of this study is to validate a student engagement measure for its use in evaluation of a learning assistant (LA) program. A series of psychometric evaluations were made for both the original scale of Higher Education Student Engagement Scale (HESES) and its adapted version designed to be used in gauging the effectiveness of educational interventions. Those evaluations included: reliability evidence based on internal consistency, internal structure assessment, and relations to external variables. In addition, an item-level analysis was conducted to identify malfunctioning items that do not effectively serve the intended use of the scale. Results generally supported the validity of the scale for the intended use, but also suggested a further investigation of the factor structure.
