Abstract
Background. Presented research was carried out in the context of relevant in modern psychology differential approach to the study of the psychological characteristics ensuring students’ academic achievement. Objective. The study had its purpose to identify differential features of regulatory and personality resources of academic performance in the students with different profiles of school engagement. Sample. The sample consisted of 1056 schoolchildren of 5-11 grades. Methods. V.I. Morosanova’s “The Self-Regulation Profile of Learning Activity Questionnaire (SRPLAQ)”; “A Multidimensional School Engagement Scale” (Wang et al., 2019; Russian adaptation Fomina, Morosanova, 2020); “Big Five Questionnaire — Children version (BFQ-C)” (Russian adaptation Malykh et al., 2015); “Academic Motivation Scale - School (AMS-S)” (Gordeeva et al., 2017); “Attitude towards learning in middle and high school” (modification of «Method of diagnostic of learning motivation and emotional attitude to learning in secondary and high school») (Andreeva, Prikhozhan, 2006). Academic achievement indicator was calculated as the average score in all subjects. Results. The study revealed 4 groups with different levels of school engagement and its components. An analysis of differences in achievement resources in the identified groups showed that students with a high level of school engagement were characterized by the highest levels of self-regulation, internal academic motivation, extraversion, conscientiousness and openness to experience. The most successful in terms of academic achievement were the students with a high level of all engagement components, as well as those with a high cognitive engagement. Conclusion. The study provides empirical data on the differential features of regulatory and personality resources of academic achievement in the students with different profiles of school engagement. Further studies might be aimed at investigating the age specificity of the identified engagement profiles and individual typological features of academic achievement resources.
