| Abstract | Student engagement remains a prevalent theme in United Kingdom (UK) Higher Education (HE) with specific emphasis placed upon engaging students in the curriculum, quality assurance and student voice activities in educational developments (Austen, 2020; Bryson, 2014; Gvaramadze, 2011). As UK HE becomes an increasingly outcomes-focused sector, a new measure has emerged to assess the transfer of knowledge by providers–the Knowledge Exchange Framework(KEF)i. As the KEF builds traction in UK HE as a driver of accountability, and therefore strategic attention and activity, the question of what student engagement in knowledge exchange looks like,becomes increasingly important. This paper sets out a framework with four conceptual models based on established student engagement theory from published works on student engagement in the curriculum, educational development and employability development as a support for wider conversations at and between institutions internationally. |
