Many definitions exist for "student engagement," and all refer to the ways in which students interact with their peers, teachers, extracurricular activities, and all of the other factors related to their educational experience (Mercadel, 2021).

There are four types of engagement styles: Independent, collaborative, passive, and intense.
Independent—An independent style of engagement is high on academic interest and cognitive action, and less concerned with socially-oriented approaches. Independent-style students are participants in a learning community and relate positively and openly to faculty and staff. Of a more individualistic nature, such students are less inclined to work collaboratively with other students and have evidence-less interest in extracurricular participation (Mercadel, 2021).
Collaborative—Collaboratively inclined students are very likely to participate in the social aspects of school academics, such as teamwork, and activities beyond the classroom. They feel identified or validated by learning communities and enjoy participating in a wide array of activities beyond the classroom (Mercadal, 2021).
Passive—Students who engage passively rarely participate in anything beyond the activities directly linked to learning and productive work (Mercadal, 2021).
Intense—Students who may be termed “intense” are highly involved and committed to their school and all areas of school work (Trowler, 2010).
