This study aimed to adapt and conduct a preliminary psychometric evaluation of an Emotional Engagement Scale for junior high school students in Indonesia. Emotional engagement is considered an important dimension of student engagement, particularly in supporting students’ academic participation, emotional well-being, and classroom inclusion. However, standardized instruments specifically measuring emotional engagement among Indonesian junior secondary school students remain limited, particularly for heterogeneous and inclusive educational settings. This study employed a preliminary psychometric validation design involving 50 seventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The adaptation process followed cross-cultural procedures, including forward translation, synthesis, back translation, expert review, readability testing, and pilot testing. Item validity was assessed using Corrected Item–Total Correlation, while reliability was evaluated through Cronbach’s Alpha internal consistency analysis. Results indicated that six out of seven items demonstrated acceptable validity, while one item was excluded due to inadequate psychometric performance. The final six-item scale demonstrated good internal consistency (α = 0.821). These findings suggest that the adapted instrument has potential utility in assessing students’ emotional engagement within Indonesian secondary education contexts. Nevertheless, further psychometric studies involving larger samples and factorial analyses are recommended to strengthen construct validity
