SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW ON AGENTIC ENGAGEMENT: CLARIFYING A CO-CREATION PERSPECTIVE
Last modified: 11.03.2022
Abstract
Co-creation of learning has been conceptualised as a learner-centred pedagogical approach with implications for students’ proactivity, metacognitive, and collaborative involvement. Due to the complexity of the concept, it is difficult to distinguish and measure in practice, with studies reporting measures for co-creative practices mostly in the context of higher education. This paper reviews the literature on student agentic engagement in Web of Science, ERIC and Scopus, providing links to the existing views on learning co-creation at schools. The research instruments developed for studying agentic engagement and autonomy support are discussed in connection to examining co-creation at the secondary education level.
