Abstract
Since student engagement in academic activities is generally considered a qualified predictor of
learning and personal development, this exploratory research study was conducted to find a tool to
objectively measure students' academic engagement activities. The main constructs of the tool named
the "Student academic report questionnaire, " were firstly replicated frqm the well-known "National
Survey of Student Engagement " (NSSE) developed by Indiana University Center for Postsecondary
Research and Planning, but the details were modified to be congruent with the Thai educational and
environmental context. The validity, reliability, and credibility of the tool were examined with the data
gathered from two-wave pilot surveys. Factor analysis and reliability analyses were performed, and the
results showed high construct validity and internal consistency with an alpha-coefficient of 0.8342-
0.9118. A questionnaire was primarily used to collect data. The initial sets of data on students' academic
engagement activities were gathered and analyzed.
