Abstract

Digital technology has transformed teaching and learning, blended learning (BL) has become ubiquitous. Student engagement (SE), which consists of behavioural, cognitive and emotional engagement, is a prerequisite for successful implementation of BL. To effectively enhance SE in BL, influences of gender, age and major on student engagement in BL should be investigated. This article used SPSS 26 to conduct independent T-test and one-way ANOVA analyses to identify influences of gender, age and major on SE. Superstar platform is incorporated to create a BL environment, which is popular in Chinese higher education. Findings show that: it is not statistically significant in behavioural engagement (BE) between male students and female students. Male students have higher average levels of CE and EE than female students. Students from liberal arts or science do not have significant differences in BE, CE and EE. Students among different ages have significant difference in emotional engagement, and do not have significant differences in behavioural or cognitive engagement.
