We used intensive longitudinal methodology to collect activity level engagement data throughout a semester for 68 students enrolled in six blended courses across two universities. We used structural equation modeling to gain a holistic understanding of learning environments, including the influence of personal characteristics, course design, and student perceptions of the learning experience on in-the-moment cognitive and emotional engagement. To investigate longitudinal relationships between emotional and cognitive engagement, we employed cross-lagged modeling techniques. Findings showed that course design and student perception variables had a greater influence on engagement than individual student characteristics and that student multitasking had a strong negative influence on engagement. Students' perceptions of the importance of the activity had a strong positive influence on both cognitive and emotional engagement. An important outcome of engagement was the students' perceptions that they were learning and improving.}, year = {2017}, month = {/2017}, language = {English}, journal = {The Internet and Higher Education}, volume = {35}, issue = {October 2017}, pages = {21-33}, country = {United States}, doi = {10.1016/j.iheduc.2017.06.002}, url = {https://www.academia.edu/36747150/Investigating_student_engagement_in_blended_learning_settings_using_experience_sampling_and_structural_equation_modeling}, issn = {1096-7516}, refereed = {yes}, keywords = {emotional engagement, cognitive engagement, blended learning, structural equation modeling, intensive longitudinal methods, higher education}, }
