Abstract

Student engagement in learning chemistry is arguably a central premise of chemistry education. Most teachers and researchers refer broadly to ‘engagement’ at some point during their work, usually as part of instructional design, reflective classroom practice, measurement of learning outcomes or a combination of these. In fact, as a multidimensional construct, learner engagement for any individual is observed to be fluid and malleable and hence is very difficult to capture. Many readers of our journal may seek to understand an author's position on engagement so that they can connect reported findings to their own contexts. To facilitate this process, in this Editorial article, I briefly visit the basis of the multiple facets of ‘engagement’ aiming to support authors in framing their work on learner engagement more explicitly. I encourage authors to establish and communicate their theoretical perspective and the methodological lens that they have applied in their chemistry education research and practice involving engagement.

Chemistry Education Research and Practice (CERP) is the journal for teachers, researchers and other practitioners at all levels of chemistry education. It is published free of charge electronically four times a year, thanks to sponsorship by the Royal Society of Chemistry's Education Division. Coverage includes the following: Research, and reviews of research, in chemistry education Evaluations of effective innovative practice in the teaching of chemistry In-depth analyses of issues of direct relevance to chemistry education The objectives of the journal: To provide researchers with the means to publish their work in full in a journal exclusively dedicated to chemistry education To offer teachers of chemistry at all levels a place where they can share effective ideas and methods for the teaching and learning of chemistry To bridge the gap between the two groups so that researchers will have their results seen by those who could benefit from using them, and practitioners will gain from encountering the ideas and results of those who have made a particular study of the learning process
