Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
This study, with the application of Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) technique, explores college students' classroom engagement, the results of which can be used as the basis for teaching improvement. Research methods adopted in this study are literature review, focus group, and questionnaire survey. This study began with establishing student engagement indicators through the use of literature reviews in order to develop the questionnaire, then the study proceeded with the use of convenience sampling on sophomore students of a certain college, and obtained 70 valid return questionnaires, which were analysed with perception analysis and IPA. The findings of this study show that incorporating behavioural engagement, emotional engagement, cognitive engagement, and agentic engagement indicators in the design of the questionnaire indeed lead to the understanding of students’ expectations about teaching; while applying IPA does help in obtaining the key criteria for teaching improvement. The contribution of this study is that the indicators derived from this study are helpful in verifying student engagement, the questionnaire is effective in assessing student engagement, and IPA is appropriate for analysing the status of student engagement, leading to clarity in teaching improvement.
