Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between middle school students' levels of school engagement and their learning responsibilities. The study was conducted using the relational survey model, which is one of the quantitative research models. The sample of the study consisted of 353 middle school students selected through simple random sampling, one of the non-probability sampling methods. The data collection tools used in the study were a personal information form, School Engagement Scale, and Learning Responsibility Scale. Independent samples t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple linear regression techniques were used in the analysis of the collected data. In the study, it was found that both school engagement and learning responsibility levels of female students were significantly higher. When examining students' learning responsibility, it was found that seventh-grade students and students attending public schools had significantly higher levels of learning responsibility than other students. When examining the predictive power of school engagement on learning responsibility, it was found that the school engagement predicted learning responsibility by 64.9%.
