Gathering data on a complex as “fuzzy” as student engagement is certainly not a simple task. As with any effective research project, multiple approaches and perspectives serve to provide the overall picture. And, perhaps most important, research needs to be conducted on local populations. Unfortunately, too many discussions of research data rely on national surveys (which I personally find quite useful in presenting broad trends), but may misrepresent local learners. With that said, the 2007 National Survey of Student Engagement is now available (.pdf).
