Context: The importance of student’s engagement has been recently pointed out in research.
However, there has been a lack of engagement assessment instrument, pertaining psychometric
qualities.
Objective: This paper presents the Portuguese adaptation of the “Student’s Engagement in School
International Scale” (SESIS), drawn up from a12 countries international study (Lam et al., 2012; Lam
et al., in press).
Method: Psychometric properties of this scale were examined with data from 685 students from
different grades (6th, 7th, 9th and 10th), from both sexes, and different regions of the country.
Results: Factorial analysis of the results, with varimax rotation, lead to three different factors which
explain 50.88% of the variance. The scale integrates the original 33 items, and cognitive, affective and
behavioural dimensions. For the external validity study, the relationship between student’s
engagement in school results and other school variables — academic performance, self-concept —
was considered, and significant relations were observed, as expected. Conclusion: The data
presented highlights the qualities of SESIS, as well as its usefulness for research purposes.
Suggestion: It is suggested the investigation of the extension of SESIS’s three-dimensionality, in
future studiesKeywords: Innovation, technology, research projects, etc.
