Abstract

Students have a role to be involved in the learning process. Student engagement in the success of learning is essential. Based on 
the survey results, student engagement is not fulfilled in first-year students of the psychology faculty at Makassar State University. 
This is due to several factors, including not playing an active role in class; this is due to the emergence of fear of lousy assessment, 
a negative individual interpretation of this condition and can also be called fear of failure. This research aims to see if there is a 
relationship between fear of failure and student engagement in first-year students studying at the psychology faculty of Makassar 
State University. In this study, the researchers used a purposive sampling technique with a total sample of 227 first-year psychology 
students at Makassar State University, p=0.00 (p<0.05) between student engagement and fear of failure. Ho is rejected, and Ha is 
accepted. The results of the influence of fear of failure of 8.3% and the remaining 91.7% were contributed by other variables that 
researchers did not use. This research is expected to provide an overview to first-year students regarding fear of failure and student 
engagement.
