The influence of engagement on the training trajectories of high school students

Abstract

The level of academic engagement of 307 second-year high school students is analyzed based on their previous results in the studies. For data collection, a questionnaire based on the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (Carmona-Halty, Schaufeli & Salanova, 2017) was designed. The analyzes carried out confirmed that the students who obtained the highest values on the engagement scale were those who had not repeated a year in their academic history, nor had they had difficulties in the prior learning process. The data obtained is relevant for educational practice and the development of preventive orientation programs..
