Behavioral Engagement, Evaluation Methods, Multimodal Assessment ApproachesAbstract
behavioral engagement is a crucial dimension of overall learning engagement and a key factor influencing learning performance. Although numerous researchers have examined behavioral engagement, existing evaluation approaches remain relatively uniform in form. It is therefore necessary to systematically review studies on the evaluation of behavioral engagement. Based on an analysis of 22 Chinese studies published between 2015 and 2025, this research identifies several key issues: inconsistency in evaluation indicators, limited diversity in data analysis methods, and a lack of studies focusing on behavioral engagement within actual learning processes. In the future, research on behavioral engagement in technology-enhanced learning environments and the adoption of multimodal evaluation approaches is expected to become a mainstream direction. Accordingly, future studies should establish a standardized indicator system for evaluating behavioral engagement and explore the use of multimodal data analysis methods.
