Özet:

This study was designed as a systematic review in order to examine the recent research on student engagement. The studies published in the field of student engagement between 2010 and 2019 in the search results of the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) on the Web of Science database were analyzed through descriptive content analysis according to the criteria determined with the research questions. In the research, data was collected from 80 studies previously published in the field of student engagement. The distribution of the studies on student engagement was analyzed according to the years they were published, the journals in which they were published, their subjects, and their theoretical backgrounds. In addition, the methods of the studies, samples, data collection tools, data analysis methods, and keywords were also revealed. The research subject most frequently tackled within the scope of student engagement was found to be studies aimed at identifying the level of student engagement and impact studies on student engagement. In terms of the theoretical backgrounds of the studies, it was observed that active learning theory was the most frequently used theory. In addition, it was seen that the quantitative method was the most frequently used method in these studies. Other methods used in these studies include qualitative, theoretical, mixed, and review methods. The findings of the research were discussed in relation to other research findings in the literature. In the light of the findings of this study, it can be suggested that theoretical foundations used in the interpretation of study findings and conceptual frameworks used in the justification of research problems within the scope of student engagement in future research be more substantial.
