Each of the chapters has a clear, distinguishable focus and makes an original contribution in and of itself, while retaining the central focus on student engagement. The book provides a rich, informative picture of the current state of student engagement evaluation, while also highlighting challenges and opportunities for future advances. A particular strength of this publication is its emphasis on the importance of taking evidence-based decisions, and showing how the South African Survey of Student Engagement (SASSE) can provide the evidence for well-informed changes in policy and practice in order to enhance student success." - Prof Magda Fourie-Malherbe, Stellenbosch UniversityenAcademic achievementAcademic literacyActive learningAssessmentAttitudesStudent engagementCognitive developmentHigher educationInterventionsLearning strategiesLearning environmentLecturersLibrariansManagementKnowledgeLeadershipPedagogical approachesProfessional developmentQualityResearchTeaching and learningUniversitiesBookSUN MeDIA Bloemfontein and the authors
