Learning Engagement Scale
The Learning Engagement Scale (LES) is an instrument developed to measure the level of student involvement in learning processes. It is designed to assess various dimensions of engagement, ranging from cognitive to emotional and behavioral participation. This scale is particularly useful in understanding how students interact with the learning environment and how these interactions impact their academic performance and well-being.
Key components of the LES include:
- Cognitive Engagement: Refers to the mental effort and attention students devote to their learning tasks.
- Behavioral Engagement: Measures the actions students take in response to learning, including participation in class activities and completion of assignments.
- Emotional Engagement: Assesses the affective reactions students have towards the learning material and the learning environment.
The scale can be used for various purposes, such as:
- Evaluating individual student engagement levels.
- Identifying areas where students may need additional support.
- Providing insights for improving instructional strategies and course design.
The Learning Engagement Scale provides valuable data that educators can use to enhance learning outcomes by tailoring their approaches to the specific needs and engagement levels of their students.
