To evaluate the developmental trajectories of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive school engagement from grades 7 to 11 and determine their distinct relationships with academic performance and educational aspirations.
Assessed longitudinal changes in three dimensions of school engagement: school participation, sense of school belonging, and self-regulated learning across grades 7 to 11.
Sampled N=1,148 adolescents (52% female, 56% Black, 34% White, and 10% other races/ethnicities).
Demonstrated that downward trajectories occurred across all three engagement dimensions, but the rates of change and predictive value differed.
Showed that school belonging declined most markedly across adolescence, yet it was the least predictive of changes in grade point average.
