Abstract

This quantitative research focuses on the concepts of student engagement and disengagement in the online model, based on a conceptual structure called the “double model”. The main purpose of the research is to understand the processes of online engagement and disengagement of undergraduate students. However, the contribution of the research is not restricted to this modality, as the already validated instrument can be applied and adapted to other scenarios. The survey, which was applied to 1373 undergraduate students, consists of 50 items and covers the following dimensions of engagement and disengagement: behavioral, cognitive, emotional, agentive and social. Validation of the instrument's content was carried out with seven expert judges, in addition to statistical analysis through confirmatory factor analysis and composite reliability. The engagement dimensions that stood out were the cognitive and behavioral, while among the disengagement scores, the most outstanding was the emotional. With regard to crossing some variables, it was observed that older adults were the most engaged and young adults the most disengaged. On the other hand, there was no difference in engagement levels according to gender. The study highlights the importance of greater investment in the development of agentive engagement, as this can contribute to leveraging greater student protagonism.
