Abstract

Student learning engagement remains a critical issue in education, with global challenges reflected in the Philippine context, particularly in Region XI's junior high schools. This study aimed to develop a best-fit model of student engagement linking leadership skills, interpersonal relationships, ethical values, and teacher performance to enhance student learning engagement. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive-correlational design with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the researcher gathered data from 400 teachers through validated instruments. Results revealed that Ethical values (β = .321) and teacher performance (β = .319) emerged as the strongest predictors of student engagement, accounting 41.9% of its variance (R² = .419). The best-fit model (CMIN/DF = 1.303, RMSEA = 0.027, CFI = 0.996) highlighted ethical integrity and professional effectiveness as critical factors, while leadership skills showed an indirect impact. The study highlighted the importance of ethical practices and professional growth for teachers. Professional development and policy initiatives were recommended to foster a holistic educational environment.
