The Influence of Students School Engagement on Learning Achievement: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis

AbstractIt has been realized at present that students’ school engagement is a variable that plays an important role in promoting students’ learning and achievement. The present study aimed to examine the level of students’ school engagement, to test the fit of models of students’ school engagement, and to analyze the influence of students’ school engagement on their learning achievement by using SEM analysis. The research findings can be summarized as follows: The students had a high level of school engagement (M = 3.651). The school engagement model had a good fit to the data. All hypothesized paths were supported, all p<0.05, there was a direct and significant effect of school engagement on achievement, standardized estimate =0.360 (p<.05)
