Examining the Effect of Student Engagement on Student Experience in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

Student engagement and student experience are two initiatives that higher education institutions usually pursue. However, the relationship between these two initiatives needs to be examined more adequately. Thus, this study assesses the effect of student engagement on the student experience. A survey research design was used to conduct the study. Data were collected from University in the US. The results show that collaborative learning, student-faculty interactions, and a supportive environment explain the variance in student experience. The implications are discussed at the end of the paper.
