The goal of this paper is to describe the development of an psycho-educational oriented measure - the University Student Engagement Inventory (USEI). This measure draws on the conceptualization of engagement as a multidimensional construct, including cognitive, behavioural and emotional engagement. Participants were 609 Portuguese University students (67 % female) majoring in Social Sciences, Biological Sciences or Engineering and Exact Sciences. The content, construct and predictive validity, and reliability of the USEI were tested. The validated USEI was composed of 15 items, and supported the tri-factorial structure of student engagement. We documented evidence of adequate reliability, factorial, convergent and discriminant validities. USEI's concurrent validity, with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student Survey, and the predictive validity for self-reported academic achievement and intention to dropout from school were also observed.Psychological Sciences Department and William James Center for Research ISPA - Instituto Universitário, Rua Jardim do Tabaco, 34Statistics Department Escola Superior de Comunicação Social IPL-LisboaUniversidade Estadual Paulista - UNESPHuman Development Department Connecticut CollegeUniversidade Estadual Paulista - UNESPISPA - Instituto UniversitárioIPL-LisboaUniversidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)Connecticut College2018-12-11T16:42:57Z2018-12-11T16:42:57Z2016-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s41155-016-0042-8Psicologia: Reflexao e Critica, v. 29, n. 1, 2016.1678-71530102-7972http://hdl.handle.net/11449/16876610.1186/s41155-016-0042-82-s2.0-849763390392-s2.0-84976339039.pdfScopusreponame:Repositório Institucional da UNESPinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPengPsicologia: Reflexao e Critica0,2580,258info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaroco, JoãoMaroco, Ana LúciaBonini Campos, Juliana Alvares Duarte [UNESP]Fredricks, Jennifer A.2024-01-10T06:28:29Zoai:repositorio.unesp.br:11449/168766Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttp://repositorio.unesp.br/oai/requestrepositoriounesp@unesp.bropendoar:29462024-01-10T06:28:29Repositório Institucional da UNESP - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
