The purpose of this study was to test the validity of the Korean version of students engagement scale
for University students, which was originally developed by Veiga(2013). To validate this scale, 606
undergraduates from six universities of five provinces were used. First, we did a confirmatory factor analysis
to evaluate construct validity of a 4-dimensional structure. We also examined the difference of students
engagement by sex and grade of undergraduates. Then, we analyzed its correlation with self-regulated
learning strategies and its mediation effect between subjective task-value, expected achievement, and class
satisfaction to confirm criterion-related validity. As a result, the construct validity of this scale was
supported by a 4-factor CFA model(cognitive, behavioral, affective, and agentic engagement) with 18 items
that fit the data well. There were differences in some factors of students’engagement by gender and grade.
The correlation analysis resulted in a significant positive correlation between students engagement and use
of self-regulated learning strategies. The mediating effects of students engagement between subjective
task-value, expected achievement, and class satisfaction were significant. Then the implication of this study
and directions for future study were then discussed.
