Abstract

Keterlibatan pelajar telah diketahui secara positif berkaitan dengan prestasi akademik, tetapi terdapat kekurangan kajian yang menyerlahkan fenomena ini di kalangan mahasiswa Malaysia. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji struktur faktor Student Engagement Instrument (SEI) dengan sampel pelajar di Malaysia. Alat kajian telah ditadbirkan kepada 290 pelajar ijazah dari Fakulti Ilmu Wahyu dan Sains Kemanusiaan dan Fakulti Ekonomi dan Sains Pengurusan Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia. Ekstraksi principal axis factor dengan putaran Promax telah digunakan dalam analisis faktor penerokaan (Exploratory Factor Analysis) dan mendedahkan satu penyelesaian enam faktor yang konsisten dengan struktur faktor yang terdapat dalam kajian asal oleh Appleton et al. (2006). Faktor baru yang dinamakan kepunyaan tidak dibincangkan dalam kajian sebelum ini telah ditemui dan patut diterokai. Student engagement has been known to be positively associated with academic performance, but there has been a lack of studies that highlight this phenomenon among Malaysian undergraduates. This study seeks to examine the factor structure of the Student Engagement Instrument (SEI) in a Malaysian sample. The scale was administered to 290 undergraduate students from the Faculty of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences as well as the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences of the International Islamic University of Malaysia. Principal axis factor with Promax rotation was used in exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and revealed a six-factor solution that was consistent with the factor structure found in the original study by Appleton et al. (2006). A new factor labelled belongingness which was not discussed in previous studies was also discovered, which is worth exploring.
