Abstract: Student engagement is a key factor for learning results and personal growth in schools. Although many studies have shown its importance, there are still gaps in exploring exactly how internal and external factors affect student engagement. This paper looks at these factors by studying existing research from Google Scholar journals recently. The results show that internal factors like student motivation, self-efficacy, beliefs, autonomy, and learning strategies strongly affect student engagement because they shape how willing students are to take part in learning. Also, external factors such as teacher support, classroom environment, peer influence, parental involvement, and school policies also have deep impact on student engagement. That is, the impact of the environment on individuals in specific setting. By fully exploring these factors, this paper seeks to develop proper variables which could finally improve student engagement.
