                    The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the meaning of education and academic engagement in predicting high-risk behaviors in adolescents. The research method was descriptive-correlational-predictive. The statistical population of this study consisted of all female secondary school students in Ardabil during the academic year of 2017-2018. 200 of them were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. The data gathering tool was the questionnaire of academic engagement, educational meaning and high-risk behaviors. Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. SPSS software was used for this purpose. The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between educational meaning and academic engagement with high-risk behaviors in adolescents. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that educational meaning and academic engagement and its components (empowerment, commitment and absorption) have the ability to predict high-risk behaviors in adolescents. According to the results, it is suggested that school counselors and psychologists provide programs to promote these variables.
