Zusammenfassung

This presentation will first present the results of the Lecture+ research project (2016-2018) (https://www.imec-int.com/en/what-we-offer/research-portfolio/lecture) which focused on unravelling learning engagement in the hybrid virtual classroom connecting both on-site and remote students. Three important research questions which we tackled in our research were: 1) how can we capture students’ engagement by means of multimodal learning analytics, 2) to what extent does the learning environment satisfy students’ basic needs (Deci & Vansteenkiste, 2003) in the remote setting, and 3) how we can improve students’ engagement, including relatedness or sense of belonging. Regarding RQ1, our findings show that the multifaceted nature of engagement makes it especially challenging to capture its emotional and cognitive component, and the connection between a manifest variable and students’ self-reported engagement is not always straightforward and consistent. Regarding RQ2 &3, our results confirm previous research that remote learners feel a significant sense of distance with regard to their teacher and the on-site classmates, yet our results also show that instructional design decisions can improve the sense of connectedness. In a second part of the presentation, we will focus on current research conducted including 120 students from the Faculty of Law which aims to measure students’ affective engagement combining theoretical constructs from different perspectives: i.e. flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 2014), (social) presence (Witmer & Singer 1998) and relatedness (Deci & Vansteenkiste, 2003). In our research we aim to examine convergent validity of the different scales and we aim to better understand the experience of on-site versus remote teaching and learning.
