Abstract: This article reports the development and validation of a student engagement scale (SES), as tested on a sample of 166 respondents from a management school located in the National Capital Region (NCR). The SES is a 41-item self-reporting questionnaire that measures three facets of student engagement namely, sense of belonging, individual engagement and collaborative engagement. The sub-scales had high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. All the three dimensions of student engagement were positively and significantly related to management skill, a criterion variable. Regression analysis revealed that individual engagement and collaborative engagement explained a significant amount of variance in management skill. Thus, the engagement scales demonstrated predictive validity. The usage of engagement scales for educational practices is discussed and future research directions are highlighted.
