“…Additionally, it is worth noting that the admission GPA represents past information, specifically the mark used for university admission, rather than current academic performance. As other authors have found (Lardy et al, 2022), it would be expected that the relationship between engagement and current academic achievement would be higher.…”

“…A sociodemographic questionnaire was included to get participants' information about gender, age, current studies, and the admission grade point average (GPA). Even though average grades seem biased (De Clercq, Galand, Dupont, & Frenay, 2013), they are the most common institutional information about student academic performance (Lardy et al, 2022).…”

“…In addition, some personality traits such as extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness have shown a positive correlation with general engagement (Qureshi, Wall, Humphries, & Bahrami, 2016). Finally, several researchers have focused on the contribution of engagement to student outcomes such as academic achievement (e.g., Kimbark, Peters, & Richardson, 2017;Lardy, Bressoux, & De Clercq, 2022). Notably, Reeve (2013) has found the potential of agentic engagement to explain independent variance in student achievement.…”

In 2011, Reeve and Tseng operationalized the measurement of the ‘agentic engagement’ construct in five statements. Later, the preliminary scale was empirically validated (Reeve, 2013) to assess the students' active contribution during the education process. This work presents a preliminary study about the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Agentic Engagement Scale (AES). Using a sample of 194 participants, we analyzed item responses distribution, factor structure, internal consistency, and evidence based on the relationship between the AES and other measures of engagement and personality traits. The results confirmed its one-factor structure and its reliability in terms of internal consistency. In conclusion, the Spanish version of the AES seems to be a promising scale to assess agentic engagement in Spanish-speaking students.

Introduction. Many issues related to the activation of research work of university students remain insufficiently studied and are an urgent problem of higher professional education. Aim. The present research aimed to identify the main factors influencing the processes of activating students’ research work and to develop recommendations for increasing the activity of students’ participation in this activity. Methodology and research methods. The authors used iterative examination, analysis, comparison, synthesis, and systematisation methods to analyse the results obtained through empirical methods such as questionnaires and sociological surveys. Data collection was conducted through an online survey using the Google Forms Internet service and offline surveys at 16 universities in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation in 2023. A total of 351 scientific experts participated in the survey. The survey results were processed using the IBM SPSS statistical package. Results and scientific novelty. It has been established that a significant contribution to attracting students to research activities is made by the expansion of the use of information technologies in the research process and a system of incentives aimed at increasing the importance of students’ research work in the educational process. The scientific novelty lies in identifying and systematising the main factors that influence the activation of students’ research work in the learning process through the iterative examination process. Practical significance. The results of the conducted research can be used in the practical research work of university students.
