Description¶

The review recommends that future SE research in undergraduate mathematics align its conceptualizations, definitions, measurement, and context to foster a shared understanding and guide interventions. It argues researchers should be guided by their SE conceptualization and research questions and "accordingly specify the level of granularity, data types and methods", choosing the unit-of-analysis of time, task, and agent. It also proposes convergence of data channels and methods, since each channel captures only specific components of SE.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Explicit statement of the learning activity on which SE focuses (the object of student engagement)
• Specification of granularity (time, task, agent) before selecting measurement methods

Constraints¶

• Each measurement channel captures only specific components of SE and each method has strengths and weaknesses

Target Learners¶

• undergraduate mathematics students

Target Learning Goals¶

• accurate measurement and support of engagement in mathematics learning activities

Affordances¶

• Se Multidimensional Activity Specific Framework
