Emotional Engagement

Students are emotionally engaged in the learning process, according to Fredericks, Blumenfeld & Paris ,when they hold a set of attitudes that are beneficial to their growth and feel a sense of belonging among their peers and throughout the school. Teachers are able to bolster student emotional engagement in virtual classrooms through establishing strong learning communities where every student feels valued, developing individual relationships, and perpetuating a growth mindset.

(Fredericks, Blumenfeld, & Paris, 2004)

"If students have a sense of responsibility to the class and their classmates they will become more emotionally engaged"

(Fredericks et al., 2004)
