The objective of this session is to develop a conversation about the benefits and limits of data-intensive approaches to studying engagement, a construct that cuts across educational research and is of interest for many educators. This session brings together experts in educational psychology and educational data mining to spark a conversation about how different approaches to collecting and analyzing intensive data can be used to understand learning. Presenters demonstrate their approach in the context of an empirical study and will emphasize the opportunities and challenges for their particular approach and the discussant, a renowned expert in data-intensive approaches to the study of engagement, will highlight commonalities and divergences across approaches, and key directions for future research.
