Kurzbeschreibung
Student engagement is based on the "premise that students learn from what they do in college" (Pike, Smart, Kuh, & Hayek, 2006, p. 850). Students who are involved in educationally purposeful activities in college are developing cognitive and social habits which create lifelong learning characteristics and personal development (Carini, Kuh, & Klein, 2006). The purpose of this study was to determine students' experiences with the phenomenon of engagement in purposeful activity at a Midwestern land grant university. This phenomenological study allowed the researcher to determine individuals' common or shared experiences of student engagement (Creswell, 2007). Eleven participants were purposefully selected through nominations by academic deans and student affairs staff. Five themes emerged from the interviews: academic involvement, social network - meet new people, involvement enhances involvement, student engagement - transformational change, and investment of self. With relation to academic involvement, participants stated that relevant co-curricular engagement activities were most influential. Interaction with peers and faculty was instrumental is becoming engaged and staying engaged. Being engaged in activity before coming to college enhanced the engagement opportunities when arriving on campus. As well, engagement activities which caused participants to see a global perspective and think outside of themselves were life-changing. With respect to investment of self, participants valued the time spent with engagement activities as well as the flexibility of working on campus. Based on these findings the university needs to make relevant co-curricular activities available to students and faculty need to promote the positive aspects of engagement. As well, students need to be connected in a meaningful way to an activity or positive role model. Opportunities for students and faculty to relate and work together early in the college experience is integral to student engagement.
