我们探讨了在学生多样性增加的背景下，学生参与或脱离大学学习的条件。我们讨论了学术投入和脱离的概念和用途，但重点放在1992年前和1992年后的两个可比较的第一年计算模块中脱离的动态。这项研究的结果表明，在许多时期，学习和教学环境、教学方法和/或内容在学术上不能吸引不同的兴趣，不能满足所代表的学生的需要。根据这一分析、参与教师的反思和对学生的采访，我们考虑了可以做些什么来增加和扩大计算课堂的学术参与度。最后，我们得出了一些尝试性的启示，可能对其他大学的探索有所帮助。
We explore the conditions under which students engage with, or disengage from, learning at university within the context of increased student diversity. We discuss the concept and use of academic engagement and disengagement but focus on the dynamics of disengagement in two comparable first year computing modules at a pre‐ and a post‐1992 university. The findings from this study suggest that there are many periods in which the learning and teaching environment, pedagogy and/or content do not academically engage the diverse interests and meet the needs of the range of students represented. Drawing upon this analysis, the reflections of participating teachers and interviews with their students, we consider what might be done to increase and widen academic engagement in the computing classroom. We conclude by drawing out some of the tentative implications that might be useful to explore in other universities.
