Abstract: Purpose: Guided by expectancy-value theory, this study attempted to establish a Motivation–Engagement–Achievement Pathway to determine the contribution of expectancy-value-based motivation in learning caloric-balanced living in high school physical education. Methods: Expectancy-value-based motivation, cognitive engagement, and learning achievement were collected from 575 students in six high schools. Results: The findings verified expectancy beliefs' contribution to cognitive engagement in reasoning tasks (β = 0.12, p =.012). Cognitive engagement in descriptive, relational, and reasoning tasks had direct and/or indirect effects on learning achievement (β = 0.02–.27, ps <.05). Cognitive engagement in reasoning tasks mediated the relation between expectancy beliefs and learning achievement (β = 0.02, p =.055). Conclusion: These findings suggest the role of cognitive engagement in mediating the effects of expectancy-value-based motivation on learning achievement in high school physical education.
