Similarly, the goals of student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought together clearly and comprehensively in the \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Research on Student Engagement\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook \u003c\/i\u003eguides readers through the field’s rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation, and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters on measurement methods and issues round out this important resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopical areas addressed in the \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngagement across developmental stages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-efficacy in the engaged learner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParental and social influences on engagement and achievement motivation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe engaging nature of teaching for competency development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between engagement and high-risk behavior in adolescents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing methods for measuring student engagement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential guide to the expanding knowledge base, the \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Research on Student Engagement\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching and teachereducation, social work, and educational policy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-02-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461467915\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-2018-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 840\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45990526058636,"sku":"9781461467915","price":224.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461467915.jpg?v=1772028426","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461467915","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
