Student engagement has been used as one of the antidotes to solve declining academic achievement and motivation among American students, especially urban high school students. In addition, student engagement has been a focus of higher education researchers and policy makers. After the higher education expansion, faculty and the public have observed and lamented the declining quality of higher education and Taiwanese undergraduates. The purpose of this study is to explore the nature of student engagement in Taiwan as well as factors that influence student engagement among Taiwanese undergraduates. It intends to sharpen and refine student engagement theory in the context of Taiwanese higher education and provide suggestions to improve the quality of higher education .
The theoretical framework of this study assumes that student engagement is not independent from the interference of educational context, student-faculty interaction, and student characteristics. This study investigated student engagement in eight selected universities in Taiwan by using a revised version of the 2008 College Student Report from National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). Several methods are applied to analyze the self-reported survey data of 886 undergraduates: descriptive statistics, correlation, cluster analysis, t-test, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling.
Descriptive statistics reveals demographic backgrounds while correlation
