- Theoretical framework may guide the data collection and analysis/interpretations. It consists of:

a) understanding of literature;
b) various models successfully and unsuccessfully applied;
c) identify research gap

- Revised RQs:

a) What factors contribute to student engagement in learning at CC?
b) What is the relationship between student engagement and learning at CC?
c) How can student engagement be enhanced?

- Engagement in the literature has several manifestations - which is the conceptual definition that you want to use? This needs to be made clearer.

What do I mean by 'egmt' [affective + behavorial]? e.g. attendance
Am I referring to "actual learning", e.g. motivation?

- You need to show a critical engagement with the research literature in the area in order to identify the gap (engagement in community colleges in HK) in a more intellectually focussed manner.

So what does it mean to me?
