AB  - Though student engagement is hypothesized to be a factor in explaining student 
      level differences in afterschool programs, the measurement of student engagement 
      in this context is inconsistent, and findings from the small number of studies 
      about how engagement impacts developmental and academic outcomes are mixed. In 
      this study, we tested the factor structure of Wang and colleagues' school 
      engagement scale with a sample of middle school students (N = 197) who attended 
      an afterschool program in an urban setting. Results suggest that a bifactor model 
      of engagement best fits the data, meaning that engagement consists of four 
      specific factors (affective, behavioral, cognitive, social) and a global factor. 
      We then used structural equation modeling to examine the relationship between 
      engagement, academic outcomes, and positive youth development (PYD). Results also 
      showed positive associations with student mathematics achievement and PYD, but no 
      significant associations were found between engagement and English achievement. 
      This study provides a theoretically aligned way to measure engagement and 
      evidence to support engagement as a key factor in predicting youth outcomes in an 
      out-of-school context.
