The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This chapter examines the nature of academic engagement and the key influences which appear to foster or diminish that engagement. We shall draw, in the main, from the students’ own voices through evidence gathered from two major studies on student engagement conducted in a UK university with undergraduates. This has provided rich and detailed evidence about their perceptions of ‘being a student’.
