Student engagement in Portuguese schools : A national project

The objective of this project is to analyse Student Engagement in Portuguese Schools (SEPS). The framework is linked to the "Exploring Student Engagement in Schools Internationally". The team of researchers conceptualized 6 major studies to analyse the relations between SEPS and: contextual factors; personal factors; student's outcomes; teachers' representations; and effects on SEPS of specific intervention programmes. The sample is around 1200 students, from preschool to 10th grade. The results will allow a deeper knowledge of SEPS and an international comparison with other countries.
