Abstract

The current research aimed at preparing an academic engagement scale and verifying its psychometric properties by identifying the reliability and validity of the scale. The research sample consisted of (250) male and female students at the Faculty of Education - Minia University, with an average age of (20.20) and a standard deviation of (223.1). The current research resulted in the development of an academic engagement scale consisting of (45) items distributed across three dimensions: behavioral engagement, emotional engagement, and cognitive engagement that are answered according to a 5-point Likert scale. The results showed that the academic engagement scale has a high degree of validity, calculated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and a high degree of reliability, calculated through Cronbach's alpha. Therefore, this scale is suitable for use in the Egyptian context.
