Abstract
Student engagement is widely explored, but there is no specific measure of student engagement in group projects. This paper presents a Student Group Project Engagement Questionnaire (SGPEQ) instrument and discussed its reliability analysis, validity exploration, and further validity verification. Explanatory factor analysis revealed four dimensions of student engagement in group projects that were distinct and reliable: effort, teamwork, motivation, and organization. Relationships were found between these factors and self-reported engagement and endorsement of self-theories.
