IntroductionBackground of the TopicThis study involves a formal assessment and understanding of the aspects of Engagement,Motivation and Self-efficacy in the cognitive engagement process within an individual. Thisstudy would try to shed light upon the role played by each of these three mentioned aspects indetermining the future personal and professional development of an individual. Relevance of the TopicThe topic undertaken for the purpose of evaluation is extremely crucial considering the factthat it plays a vital role in determining the overall attitude and personality of an individual.This would eventually determine the amount of success they would eventually achieve intheir academic as well as professional careers. Scope of TopicThe scope of the topic is large because the three aspects that have been chosen for analysis inthis particular study are extremely crucial in shaping up the behaviour and personality of anindividual and how they respond to their external environment.Literature ReviewMotivationMotivation is an important factor which eventually determines how much committed andfocused they are in their life. It is an essential component of a person which keeps themfocused in their personal and professional goals and eventually enables them to attain successin their lives. Motivation can be essentially categorised into two types - intrinsic motivationand extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic MotivationAccording to Deci and Ryan, (2000) intrinsic motivation has been defined as the motivationwhich is instinctive within an individual and this essentially helps them to increase their ownstrengths and core-competencies which invariably have a positive impact on their overallacademic performance. Individuals that possess greater intrinsic motivation are more likely to2 | P a g e
get a sense of satisfaction from the learning process and this eventually allows them toperform and excel at their academics by ensuring a greater interest in the learning process.Boyd, (2002) has found out that intrinsically motivated people have a stronger academicconcept and understanding and as a result they are more likely to persist with the academicchallenges that they face within their learning environment. Extrinsic MotivationThe extrinsic motivation is attained from the external environment and it is mainly aimed atsatisfying our materialistic tendencies. This type of motivation these is a desired goal orobjective which an individual wants to pursue in their lives (such as better career prospects,better lifestyles). According to Zeldin & Pajares, (2000) the extrinsic motivation is not innatewithin an individual and it can manifest itself from time to time depending on the situationthat an individual is exposed to. The greater the benefits or stakes, the more strongly wouldbe the extrinsic motivation showcased by an individual.Engagement According to Dogan (2015) Student Engagement can be in form of class engagement andcampus engagement. It has been opined by Busse & Walter (2013) that the factors like givingvalue to education, participation in campus activities, giving value to campus sense ofbelonging are important aspects of student engagement. On the other hand, it has been opinedby Kim et al., (2017) that class engagement includes the emotional, cognitive and behaviouralresponses of the students towards both the in-class and out-of-class activities. Behavioural EngagementAccording to the study conducted by Reyes et al., (2012) behavioural engagement involvesthe participation of the students in academic, their attendance in class, their efforts and theirparticipation in class. Thus, the social activities and out-of-class activities can also beincluded within the behavioural engagement. The findings of the study conducted byShernoff et al., (2014) have revealed that the emotional support, emotional engagement andpositive emotions enhance the behavioural engagement of the students. Kuh (2009) hasadvocated that behavioural engagement tends to predict academic achievement andperformance. Fan & Williams (2010) has also suggested that that behavioural engagementleads to enhanced academic performance. Thus, it can be inferred from the discussions thatBehavioural engagement and academic performance is positively related. 3 | P a g e
