Brief Description:

Learning engagement is both a variable that can be shaped by the environment and a strong predictor of student interest, academic achievement, and learning retention. Over the past two decades, academic interest in learning engagement has grown steadily, forming a stable and productive research field. This special session has been continuously held at the GCCCE conference for six years, taking place at Northwest Normal University in 2020; The Education University of Hong Kong, Beijing Normal University, Taiwan Normal University, and the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University in 2021; National Tsing Hua University, The Education University of Hong Kong, and East China Normal University in 2022; Beijing Normal University in 2023; Southwest University in 2024; and Jiangnan University in 2025. Over these years, it has accepted over 170 high-quality papers, establishing considerable influence. We aim to facilitate in-depth interaction, professional discussion, and future collaboration through this special session, hoping to spark intellectual exchange and consolidate outcomes in the field of data-driven teaching.
