Abstract
This study intends to extend the understanding of drivers of student
engagement in the educational context and analyse mindfulness as a moderator of the
different associations in the proposed model. The proposed model regards VR
experiences as stimuli, telepresence, pleasantness of the experience and memory as an
organism and student engagement as the response. A sample of 136 participants
allowed us to test the model. Findings revealed that all hypotheses were supported
except H6 linking pleasantness of the experience with student engagement. Only the
relationship between pleasantness and memory is higher for mindful students than nonmindful
ones. These findings mean that students do not need to feel pleasure about
what they are learning to be engaged.
