The Predictive Ability of Academic Emotions on Cognitive Engagement among Arab University Students within the Green Line in Palestine

The study aimed to explore the predictive ability of academic emotions on cognitive engagement among Arab university students within the Green Line in Palestine. To achieve the study's objectives, a sample of (503) male and female students were selected using the available method. The Academic Emotions Scale and the Cognitive Engagement Scale were applied to them. The results showed that academic emotions were ranked as follows: academic enjoyment and pride ranked first with a high level, academic hope ranked second with a high level, academic anger and boredom ranked third with a medium level, academic shyness and anxiety with a low level, and academic despair ranked last with a low level. The results showed that the level of cognitive integration as a whole was within the medium level. The results also showed positive predictive ability for academic enjoyment, pride, and academic hope in cognitive engagement, and negative predictive ability for academic despair in cognitive engagement. The study recommended improving levels of positive academic emotions such as academic enjoyment, academic pride, and academic hope.
