Abstract
The quantitative correlational study was designed to examine relationship
of academic engagement and achievement of students. 800 students of 10th
grade participated in this study that were randomly chosen from 20 high
schools of district Lahore. Students’ academic engagement was measured
by administrating Academic Engagement Scale (AES) whereas academic
achievement was their scores that they achieved in final exams of 9th
grade. Multiple statistical data analysis techniques i.e. mean, standard
deviation, independent sample t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson r were applied.
Results exhibited that learners have competent level in engagement while
difference in students’ perception regarding academic engagement of girls
and boys is significant. Students’ father qualification has significant
influence while mother qualification has no significant influence on their
perceptions about academic engagement. Results also demonstrated that
there is a weak as well as negative correlation in students’ academic
engagement and their achievement as r = -.088 (p>0.01). Thus, academic
engagements have indirect influence on students’ achievement. It is
recommended that policy makers, teachers, and the researchers pay
attention to individual learner’s academic engagement because it
influences on their achievement.
