Deconstructing Engagement: A First Generation Report on the ArtsSmarts Student Engagement Questionnaire

During the 2006-07 school year, ArtsSmarts collaborated with Karen Hume to design a questionnaire to measure students' engagement before and after participating in an ArtsSmarts project.  This report summarizes the results from the first administration of the ArtsSmarts Student Engagement Questionnaire (ASEQ) with a focus on student engagement and evaluating the quality of the questionnaire.  The report summarizes the responses of students who completed the questionnaire, compares student engagement before and after ArtsSmarts, and identifies strengths and weakness in the questionnaire for further revisions.
