Learning Engagement Types'Influence on Social-Emotional Skills of College Students
The potential heterogeneity of learning engagement and its impact on social-emotional skills were examined through potential profile analysis among 1412 engineering students from 10"double first-class"universities.The study reveals that engineering students exhibit low levels of extracurricular learning engagement and interpersonal skills.Their learning engagement can be categorized into four profiles:active engagement,high engagement,medium engagement,and negative engagement.Male students,sophomores,and first-generation engineering students are more likely to exhibit passive engagement and should be identified as focus groups.Furthermore,significant differences in social-emotional skills were observed among engineering students with different types of learning engagement,indicating that students with positive learning engagement profiles possess higher social-emotional abilities.In light of these findings,universities should implement targeted teaching strategies based on students'learning differences.They should prioritize the development of students'social-emotional skills and enrich the curriculum system;create a positive campus atmosphere to stimulate students'learning engagement,thereby effectively enhancing students'social-emotional skills.
