The relationship between student engagement and the learning environment in the university- A field study at Ibn Khaldoun University TIARET

Abstract

Higher education plays an important role in human, social and economic development, and requires universities to prepare and pay attention to the human element academically, psychologically and socially to respond to the requirements of the development of the society, by paying attention first to the academic formation of university students, and the achievement of the desired goals depends on what students do during university study, and the abilities and conditions provided by the learning and teaching environment that help achieve the goals. the development of university students shows that the time and energy that students devote to meaningful educational activities is the best indicator of their personal engagement and development, The aim of the current study is whether there is a statistically significant correlation between the development of capabilities and skills that universities seek to achieve and the learning environment. To achieve this, the scale of student engagement in higher education was applied to a sample of 80 students from Ibn Khaldoun University, Tiaret. The results of the study reached the achievement of psychometric properties (Cronbach's alpha coefficient for reliability 0.813 and the validity of internal consistency where the values extended from 0.231 to 0.586) and the main hypothesis of the study was achieved as the correlation coefficient was found to be statistically significant at the 0.01 level, reaching 0.317**. There were no differences between the sexes, nor were there differences between the levels, which is evidence of the lack of development of abilities at the university.
