Grades and
Engagement |
| Student-reported grade point
average (GPA) is positively correlated with the five benchmarks,
as well as with three additional scales that measure student-reported
gains at their institution in three areas: general education,
practical competence, and personal-social growth (Table
3). These patterns hold for both first-year and senior
students. These correlations probably underestimate the
link between grades and engagement, particularly for seniors,
because GPA is cumulative over the student’s college
career while engagement is typically measured over the
current school year. While these analyses cannot determine
the degree to which engagement promotes higher grades,
or higher grades promote more intense engagement, the
upshot is clear: higher engagement levels and higher grades
go hand-in-hand. |
