Description
Summary:This research was performed to investigate the correlations between using the Internet and multimedia technology by university teachers and four styles of student engagement. The study was based on the data collected in 2015 from 11 universities (the total sample included 16,893 Bachelor’s or Specialist’s degree students) as part of the Trajectories and Experience of Russian University Students Project. The findings support the hypothesis about positive correlation between using the Internet and multimedia technology, on the one hand, and student engagement in learning and interaction with peers and professors, on the other hand. The more widely multimedia technology is used by teachers, the higher academic and social engagement of students and their commitment to meet teachers’ high requirements — and the lower their engagement in academic non-performance.
