Ideas from PhD holders

Bernard Wong: 1. As you mention that you are planning to replicate CCSSE, are you going to use the attached scale as the questionnaire. I personally feel that their questions on engagement has been focusing a bit more on the behavioral (perhaps also academic) aspect of student engagement. As you may know, my personal conceptualization of student engagement will also include the affective as well as the cognitive aspect too, which is not included in the present questionnaire. I am not too sure if these are also some areas that you might wish to look into. 2. To facilitate the development of interview questions, it might be good if you have some prior thoughts about what might enhance/deter student engagement. In my research with secondary school students, I find that teacher affective support, teacher cognitive support, and peer support are important factors that predict student (dis)engagement. I think you might also consider some of these factors in your study, and turn these into interview questions. 3. I am not sure if you would also like to look into the outcomes of student engagement too, but it might be interesting to see how students with different levels of student engagement differ in their outcomes, like academic performance, satisfaction, job hunt, further study opportunities, etc. KY Chan: 1. Hypothesis: my solution to the problem(s), i.e. Research questions 2. Any other competing arguments? Built on them? Why mine stand out? 3. Evidence to convince why my hypothesis works 4. Conference/ journal publication to garner feedback/ critique Li Xueyan: 1. What's the other variable? How does variable A influence variable B? 2. right now, the topic is too generic!
