Abstract

Student engagement is one of the factors that influence student academic achievement. However, there is much debate about the operational definition and dimensionality of this construct. For this reason, this study intends to examine dimensionality of this construct. A total of 596 students in Indonesia participated in this study consisting of junior high school students, high school students, and undergraduate students. Data was collected online using a student engagement scale (SES), the Indonesian version of the adaptation of the SES by Reeve & Tseng, which contains 22 items. The results of this scale found that the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient was 0.927. Content validity analysis by Forward-Backward translation by linguists and by expert judgment. Analysis of construct validity with exploratory factor analysis found that the SES version of the Indonesian language consisted of three 3 factors accounting 57.986% of total variance explained, but it also consisted 4 factors accounting 62.078% of total variance explained. So, based on these results, the Indonesian version of the student engagement scale can be applied using three or four dimensions.
