Examining a multidimensional model of student motivation and engagement using a construct validation approach

This study seeks to examine a multidimensional model of student motivation and engagement using within- and between-network construct validation approaches.

The study tests the first- and higher-order factor structure of the motivation and engagement wheel and its corresponding measurement tool, the Motivation and Engagement Scale - High School (MES-HS; formerly the Student Motivation and Engagement Scale). SAMPLE: The study draws upon data from 12,237 high school students from 38 Australian high schools.
