Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i3 Support for Affective Engagement strongly predicted Affective Engagement (β = 1.163, p < .001) and also predicted Behavioral (β = 0.802) and Cognitive Engagement (β = 0.589). → Graham 2023
q3 i? Support for Behavioral Engagement did not predict Behavioral Engagement and Support for Cognitive Engagement did not predict Cognitive Engagement (both p > .1), contrary to the ACE framework's hypothesis. → Graham 2023 (2)
Evidence¶
Graham 2023¶
Graham, C., Borup, J., Tuiloma, S., Martínez Arias, A., Parra Caicedo, D., Larson, R. (2023). Institutional support for Academic Engagement in online and blended learning environments: Exploring affective, behavioral, and cognitive dimensions.

q3 · i3 · associational · r2
Alternate SEM without superfactors (Figure 7, n = 1253; Table 9 fit statistics met cutoffs) ran paths from the three support subfactors to the three engagement subfactors. Affective support predicted all three engagement dimensions, most strongly its own.
"This is only true of the direct regression path from Support for Affective Engagement to Affective Engagement (β = 1.163, p < .001). This relationship is extremely strong."

q3 · i0 · associational · r2
In the same no-superfactor SEM, the hypothesized dimension-matched paths for behavioral and cognitive support were non-significant (p > .1); no effect sizes were printed for these null paths. Support for Behavioral Engagement did predict Cognitive Engagement (β = 0.537, p < .05).
"Unexpectedly, Support for Behavioral Engagement does not predict Behavioral Engagement (p > .1) and Support for Cognitive Engagement does not predict Cognitive Engagement (p > .1)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The ACE-HE measurement model of affective, behavioral, and cognitive engagement fits online/blended survey data well — related
- The ACE-HE measurement model of institutional support for ABC engagement also fits the data well — related
- Overall institutional support for academic engagement has an extremely strong positive relationship with overall academic engagement — a broader claim this one bears on
- Learners define engagement through cognitive, behavioral, and emotional criteria that align with the tripartite framework but differ across individuals — related
