Subclaims¶

q2 i3 Concurrent correlations among behavioral, collaborative, metacognitive, and disciplinary engagement ratings were positive and primarily moderate to large (e.g., CE-DE r = 0.63), while socioemotional engagement correlated near zero with the other dimensions. → Rogat 2026

Evidence¶

Rogat 2026¶

Rogat, T. K., Traynor, A., Hmelo-Silver, C. E., & Cheng, B. H. (2026). Situating collaborative disciplinary activity: creating a space for high-quality group engagement. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-025-09772-1

q2 · i3 · associational · r2

Correlational analysis of rubric ratings from 2.5-minute video intervals of middle school groupwork (Research Question 1). Table 3 prints CE-DE r = 0.63, BE-CE r = 0.59, CE-ME r = 0.59, showing "all the correlations between engagement dimension ratings that were significantly different from zero were positive."

"In Table 3, we observe that all the correlations between engagement dimension ratings that were significantly different from zero were positive. Correlations for pairs of engagement dimensions were primarily moderate to large in magnitude."
