Özet: In this study, within the context of e-learning, it is aimed to develop a likert type scale in order to measure student engagement to multimedia learning materials that include visual and verbal representations. First of all, an item pool was generated for student engagement which is reported to have cognitive, emotional and behavioral dimensions in the literature. Pilot implementation of the scale was run after taking experts’ opinions and then items we reorganized according to this feedback. The participants consisted of 403 undergraduate students from various departments. They were first requested study a multimedia learning material and then asked to fill out the engagement scale with 46 items. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, it was determined that student engagement has three dimensional structure; cognitive engagement, emotional engagement and behavioral engagement. The total variance explained was 62.86%. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the best fit index values were obtained for correlated three-factor model. Later, convergence and divergence validity analyzes were conducted for construct validity, and we reached a scale form consisting of 13 items; four in cognitive factor, five in emotional factor and four in behavioral factor. Finally, it was found that these three dimension were gathered under a general engagement structure as a result of the second order factor analysis. These findings showed that multimedia learning material engagement scale was valid and reliable.
