Abstract
In academic achievement, student engagement is considered a prime factor to enhance motivation among students. Student engagement is a constructive approach that refers to the level of concentration, inquisitiveness, and enthusiasm that students demonstrate when they learn. The study aims to elucidate the development of a three-dimensional construct of student engagement based on psycho-education oriented measures such as behavioural, cognitive and emotional engagement. Data from 470 students studying in science, humanities, and engineering streams from different universities of Punjab, was collected via random sampling technique. The factor analysis of the scale reveals that 31 items had three factors, behavioural, cognitive, and affective engagement. Good internal reliability (????=0.889) and adequate convergent and discriminant validities are reported, which establishes good psychometric properties of the scale.
Highlights
The term student engagement came into existence when the relationship between students’ learning and the amount of time spent on course work was studied
Many studies have been carried out in recent years to find out the effect of quality and quantity of student’s efforts on their learning and the contribution of individual dispositions leading to student engagement (Martin, Goldwasser & Galentino, 2017; Gilboy, Heinerichs & Pazzaglia, 2015; Bakker, Vergel & Kuntze, 2015; Pellas, 2014)
Student engagement as per National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) website is “the amount of time and effort students put into their studies and other educationally purposeful activities” as well as “how the institution deploys its resources and organizes the curriculum and other learning opportunities to get students to participate in activities” (Center for Postsecondary Research, 2017)
