School Engagement and Learning Responsibility in Middle School Students
International Journal of Curriculum and Instructional Studies, v14 n2 p220-250 2024
This study aims to examine the relationship between middle school students' levels of school engagement and their learning responsibilities. The correlational study was conducted, which is one of the quantitative research models. The study sample consisted of 353 middle school students in Istanbul, Üsküdar selected through simple random sampling, one of the probability sampling methods. The data collection tools used in the study were a personal information form, School Engagement Scale, and Learning Responsibility Scale. Independent samples t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple linear regression techniques were used in the analysis of the collected data. In the study, it was found that both school engagement and learning responsibility levels of female students were significantly higher. When examining students' learning responsibility, it was found that seventh-grade students and students attending public schools had significantly higher levels of learning responsibility than other students. When examining the predictive power of school engagement on learning responsibility, it was found that school engagement predicted learning responsibility by 62%. Based on these results, it is thought that providing an educational environment in which children feel engaged will also increase their learning responsibilities.
