q3 · i? · associational · r2

Longitudinal predictive study in which 1324 Year 7 students (52% female) from 17 low socio-economic status schools rated 71 teacher behaviours mid-year, with engagement measured at the start and end of the year. The article reports that "teacher behaviours predicted 4.39% of the variance in students' change in engagement" on held-out data.

"We trained elastic-net regression models on 70% of the data and then assessed their predictive validity on the held-out data (30%). The models showed that teacher behaviours predicted 4.39% of the variance in students' change in engagement."

• Being good role models, taking interest in students' lives outside class, and allowing students choices were the behaviours most consistently associated with positive change in engagement — related
• The teacher behaviours most predictive of engagement change do not neatly fit within any single motivational theory, supporting theoretical integration — related
