Abstract
Using ECLS-K:2011, a nationally representative data set, behavioral engagement profiles of 18,174 fourth-grade students were examined. The students were identified as one of four types of learners: with a disability, gifted and talented, twice-exceptional, and general education. Behavioral engagement focuses on student conduct in class, student participation, and student interest in academics. Analysis indicates the groups differed significantly on behavioral engagement as measured by the five behavioral items. The twice-exceptionalities and the gifted and talented groups’ responses had the greatest homogeneity with a small effect size suggesting similar behavioral engagement between these two groups.
