The Role of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Resilience in Student Engagement
Thu, May 4, 9:45 to 11:15am CDT (9:45 to 11:15am CDT), Division C Virtual Sessions, Division C - Section 2a: Cognitive and Motivational Processes Virtual Paper RoomAbstract
Engagement is a fundamental aspect of the learning process. Exploring the role of outside factors on student engagement offers potential for educators to tailor their pedagogies to meet the needs of students who have experienced trauma. This study examines the role that adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and resilience may play in student engagement levels within a university statistics course. Participants completed two surveys, an ACE inventory (Child Experiences Survey) and a resilience inventory (Child and Youth Resiliencey Measure). From this group 25 were selected for an interview. Analysis from the interviews pointed to a possible link between resilience, ACEs, and different aspects of engagement (affective, behavioral, and cognitive).
