Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine whether values can influence school engagement of senior high school students by influencing their future goals and motivation internalization in the context of China. Using convenient sampling, 1022 high school students from 7 schools in six cities were selected as participants. Each participant was asked to fill out values scale, future goals scale, learning motivation scale, school engagement scale. The results showed that:(1) Beyond-the-self-oriented values and improve-the-self-oriented values were linked to more school engagement, and this link was mediated by intrinsic future goals and by more internalized learning motivation, while materialism was linked to less school engagement, and this link was mediated by extrinsic future goals and by more externalized learning motivation; (2) Considering the role of values on future goals, the influence of future goals on learning motivation became insignificant, while it was still significant on school engagement; (3) Not considering the role of values on future goals, intrinsic future goals were linked directly to more school engagement, and this link was mediated by more internalized learning motivation, while extrinsic future goals were linked directly to fewer school engagement, and this link was mediated by more externalized learning motivation. The results of this study revealed that values had greater influence on academic development than future goals did, and the results implicated that career education should pay more attention to values education.

Key words: high School Students, values, future goals, motivation internalization, school engagement
