Social engagement refers to students’ social investment in the collegiate experience.
Cognitive engagement is the active process of learning.
Behavioral engagement is doing the work and following the rules.
Emotional engagement refers to students’ emotional reaction to learning.Sinatra, Heddy, and Lombardi (2015) reported that “both negative and positive emotions can facilitate activation of attention and engagement” (p. 2).
Collaborative engagement is related to the development of different relationships and networks that support learning, including collaboration with peers, instructors, industry, and the educational institution.
