Assessing student's engagement on social interaction: basis for academic intervention program

Abstract

Interacting with others helps learners organize their thoughts, reflect on their understanding, and identify gaps in their reasoning; as a result, we must address how to generate meaningful and long-lasting social relationships, particularly when many students are juggling numerous online courses while juggling home and job responsibilities. Assessing student engagement on social interaction issues needs to be addressed because they are essential for learning. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach. It is quantitative research because it described student engagement on social interaction in the University of Mindanao Tagum College. The results suggest that the respondents perceived the student engagement of their self-presentation, social interaction, and enjoyment as high and were observed most of the time. Moreover, this will highlight student engagement on social interaction. The University of Mindanao- Tagum Campus may provide an avenue for students to improve their holistic well-being, social interactions, and enjoyment. These activities may boost self-esteem, self-improvement and promote positive social relationships.
