Reconstruction of student engagement model for collaborative technology

Abstract

Student engagement becomes one of the challenges in online education as proven by previous researchers. Student engagement goes down in online learning process. Online education is performed by using collaborative technology to accomplish teaching and learning tasks remotely. Since student engagement was found to affect students’ performance in their learning, this study came out with a model that helps to determine features of collaborative technology that influence student engagement. Primarily, students who are interested in their learning tend to perform better and will exhibit enthusiasm toward what they learn. With the reference of social presence theory in constructing the model, there are several items are split into another variable to demonstrate the use of collaborative technology in online education activities. Besides, this model will shed a light on how to enhance student engagement by using collaborative technology in remote learning and diffusely will help to improve their potential in education.
