| Summary: | Student engagement and adjustment to college are important factors that contribute to their success.
This study aims to investigate the relationship between these two variables and the differences that
can be drawn in the context of undergraduate students at International Islamic University of Malaysia
(IIUM). Three types of adjustments namely; (academic adjustment, social adjustment, and personalemotional adjustment) were measured by SACQ. In addition, three types of student engagements
(peer-to-peer engagement, engagement with faculty, and engagement with the university) were
assessed using the accredited National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). 446 students were
involved in the current study. ANOVA, t-test, and correlation analysis were used. The findings of this
study revealed a moderate relationship between adjustment to college and student
engagement r =487. The overall findings suggest relatively low involvement which would allow the
institution the opportunity to develop their programs to increase student engagement and encourage
students to graduate on time. |
