Abstract
The prolonged implementation of ^Learning from Home^ can lead to negative impacts on various parties, such as learning loss among students. It is indicated by a decrease in student interest and engangement in learning which is convinced to be caused by the lack of face-to-face interaction intensity with friends and teachers amidst Covid-19 pandemic. Based on this phenomenon, this article aims to identify what is the importance of student engagement and what are predictor factors of student engagement in online learning. This article reviews the literature of student engagement as it is defined for primary and secondary education settings and what dimensions constitute student engagement. The author used the semi-systematic approach which synthesized and compared evidences of the prior correlational studies. The author started the literature search by using the keywords ^learning loss^ and ^student engagement^ from Google Scholar, Taylor and Francis Online, and ScienDirect. Most of the prior studies findings indicate that teacher, personal factors, and learning media/method have important roles in influencing student engagement. The literature review contribute to a future research agenda which aims at identifying the predictors of students engagement of Indonesian primary and secondary students in online learning.
