The validation was restricted to two levels at the secondary school, and hence, the applicability to other age groups or educational stages outside it may be uncertain. Furthermore, there may be inconsistencies in items on engagement measurement scales across behavioural, emotional, and cognitive dimensions, which can complicate comparisons across studies and contexts.
