Abstract
The objective of the study was to adapt and validate questionnaires for measuring School Engagement and Contextual Factors for use with students of initial levels of education in Chile. After the adaptation of the instruments, through expert judgments and discussion groups with students, the questionnaires were applied to 420 students who were in fifth and sixth grade in Chile. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the instruments maintained the same factors of the original version. In addition, both questionnaires showed adequate internal consistency indexes, and as expected, their scores correlated with students' academic results and school attendance.
