Abstract
A noted scholar in the field of engagement, Andrew Martin, provided commentary on the chapters in Part II. Martin summarized the theories and definitions offered by authors in this part and shared his perspective on motivation and engagement. He argued for the inclusion of disengagement in addition to engagement in future research and discourse in this area. Martin concluded by proposing a framework and analytic model to integrate authors’ ideas and to test tenets of various conceptualizations of engagement and motivation.
