The students' focus on the benefits they themselves get from the encounter may partly reflect their positioning by the university's student engagement programme as consumers.
“The students' focus on the benefits they themselves get from the encounter may partly reflect their positioning by the university's student engagement programme as consumers (MacFarlane and Tomlinson, 2017).”

“Although there is a lack of a settled or widely agreed definition of student engagement (Trowler, 2010; Evans et al., 2015), most well-cited definitions tend to draw on a framework of three dimensions: behavioural, psychological and sociocultural (Fredricks et al., 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
