Abstract

Student engagement in class is an important concern in educational settings in Indonesia. Student engagement is the physical and psychological energy that students pour out during class activities. In fact, in Indonesia, there are still many students who are less involved in the learning process in class. The results of the PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) show that the reading literacy level of Indonesian students is still relatively minimal. This report is an indicator that indirectly students are less involved in the learning process in class. If this is left unchecked, it will certainly have an impact on students' academic achievement. Students who lack involvement have an impact on failing to complete their studies. There are many factors that cause students to be less involved in class activities, both internally and externally. Student engagement in class is seen from cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and agentic dimensions consisting of 22 items. This research aims to identify and describe student engagement in class. The data collection process involved 307 students in high school which was carried out online using Google Form. The data results were analyzed using the Rasch Model. The results of this research show the extent of student engagement in class. Apart from that, the results showed that student engagement between men and women was different. It is hoped that the results of this research can be a reference in preparing programs and creating a good learning environment to support full student engagement. © ICRES 2025.All rights reserved.
