Analyzing Profiles and Predictors of Students’ Social-Ecological Engagement
Using data from the Educational Longitudinal Study (2002), this study employed latent class analysis (LCA) to explore the relationship between students’ engagement-related dispositions and their behavioral engagement in home, school, and community activities. The primary aim was to identify and describe the engagement characteristics of distinct subpopulations of students. Our higher-order LCA models yielded five subpopulation profiles of students’ social-ecological engagement. In contrast to extant participation-identification models, these new profiles suggested that the relationship between students’ behavioral engagement and their school-related identities and dispositions is nonlinear and nonhomogeneous. This major finding recommends comprehensive school–community improvement models as well as nuanced interventions that are tailormade to fit the engagement needs and identity-related characteristics of each student subpopulation.
