This article demonstrates an example of using the BCW to implement a life-saving intervention in healthcare (Steinmo et al., 2015). Remarkably, the BCW is not yet so much applied in the field education. The BCW system has opened a new, promising path for engagement interventions, in which a detailed understanding of the engagement behaviour can be obtained and mechanisms of change of potential interventions may be identified drawing on behavioural theory. All these factors, when combined with the findings that motivation is a key determinant of student engagement, and that motivation is a core component that drives behaviour change in the COM-B model, the idea of changing the behaviour of engagement by triggering motivation was born. This thesis therefore seeks use the BCW system to inform the design of an intervention to increase student engagement. The rationale for choosing this framework was that it provided a comprehensive theoretically driven guide to the systematic design of interventions. It enabled us to draw a “map” of behavioural systems that would influence student …show more content…
Then it provided an overview of the positive outcomes of student engagement reported in the literature, including both academic-related outcomes and non-academic outcomes, as well as the benefits of engaging students in the first year of university. It has also shown that while many methods can be used to measure engagement, student engagement surveys have been widely used by higher education institutions around the world. Measuring engagement is useful to evaluate the quality of student university experiences and plan strategies to enhance student engagement and learning. After years of research, the importance of student engagement is not questioned any more, rather educators have shifted their efforts towards developing effective strategies capable of creating, cultivating and improving engagement among higher education students. A thorough search of the literature identified the determinants of student engagement. It concluded by discussing the literature on improving student engagement and behaviour change theories, arriving at the rationale for developing a behaviour change intervention to
