“…As one of the key findings of the article which was done by Wara et al [18], have identified that cognitive engagement has a moderate positive relationship with the academic achievement of the students and that increasing the cognitive engagement results in increase in the academic achievement (r=.376, N=312, p<.05). In the same study, it was mentioned that students who do not take the assignments seriously have less chance of succeeding in the academics due to the lack of cognitive engagement and therefore the instructors should have a constant supervision of the students.…”

This research paper basically discussed about the empirical gaps when identifying the relationship between student engagement and their academic achievement, which would be useful for the future researches on the topic. Secondary data collection was used. A critical Literature Review was conducted using a sample size of 22 articles. The first gap is about the sample size, where the sample is being limited to just one university/school/institute. The second gap is about the way the researchers have measured the academic achievement, where most have done using a single subject result, which would be impractical. Thirdly, lack of qualitative approaches to measure the relationship between student engagement and academic achievement is identifies as a gap. As the fourth gap, students from all the years and variety of faculties should be taken, as student engagement might vary with them. As the fifth gap, many researchers have identified that most researches have been carried out targeting one country, which might be failed to give an overall result on the relationship. The sixth gap identified was that many of the researchers have paid to the respondents in filling the survey and therefore the researchers have faced restrictions due to unavailability of sufficient financial resources. The last gap which was identified throughout the literature was that information technology nowadays has an influence on student engagement and the fact was not taken into account by most of the researches. At the latter part of the research, the recommendations to the future researchers were given.

This study focuses on student engagement in state (ABC) and non-state (XYZ) universities in Sri Lanka. The purpose of conducting this study is to identify whether a relationship exists between student engagement and academic achievement. The findings of the study will be of significance to the universities as well as the current undergraduates, since it provides an understanding on which measurements of student engagement is to be focused on, in order to achieve superior academic accomplishments. Additionally, the study will be of importance to Sri Lanka as a whole, for despite this subject being investigated in numerous other nations, it was identified that significant consideration was not given to the Sri Lankan context, when investigating the relationship between students’ engagement and their scholarly accomplishments. However, there can be unpublished researches in existence. The research was conducted using numerous scientific research tools. A deductive research approach was utilized in the current study. Data collection was based on primary data and a mixed strategy was utilized, as both quantitative and qualitative approaches were taken in collecting data. As per the findings of the study, it was identified that there is a positive relationship between student engagement and their academic achievements.

This research investigates the impact of parental engagement on the social and communication development of children with developmental delays, using the case of Eleisa, a 2-year-old child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Through in-depth interviews, the study identifies five key themes: the central role of occupational therapy, encountered challenges like tantrums, effective coping mechanisms, strategic communication style adaptation, and observable progress. Occupational therapy emerges as crucial for fostering various skills, conducted weekly with an emphasis on nonverbal communication. Challenges, such as tantrums, highlight the child's struggle to communicate, while effective coping mechanisms and adapted communication styles play essential roles. The absence of gadgets positively influences the child's behavior. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of parental involvement in short-term interventions, emphasizing its significant influence on enhancing social and communication abilities in children with developmental delays.
