Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Considering the significance of student engagement as a contributing factor to academic achievement, it is crucial to investigate the methods by which teachers can encourage learning engagement. To this end, we examined the influence of teacher work engagement on student engagement, placing a particular emphasis on the mediating impact of teaching quality. Chinese teachers (N = 291) at a national teaching seminar completed a survey. Structural equation modeling analysis of the data confirmed that teacher work engagement had a positive relationship with both teaching quality and student engagement. Moreover, teacher work engagement indirectly affected student engagement via its mediating impact on teaching quality. This research contributes to the elucidation of the underlying mechanism governing the association between teacher work engagement and student engagement.
