Student engagement during learning activities is a central and extensively examined construct in education. Student learning engagement comprises behavioral, cognitive, and emotional dimensions, capturing students’ active engagement and investment in academic learning experiences. One motivational factor receiving increasing attention in relation to student engagement is future time perspective (FTP). In recent years, FTP has gradually attracted increasing attention in educational research for its role in influencing students’ motivation and learning outcomes. Building on expectancy–value theory, students’ expectancies of success (operationalized via self-efficacy) and the subjective task value they assign to academic tasks (task value) are key cognitive beliefs influencing learning engagement. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among students’ FTP, cognitive beliefs, and learning engagement, and to construct an FTP model. Data were collected from 203 students (117 males) and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results indicated that FTP positively predicted both self-efficacy and task value. Furthermore, students’ self-efficacy and task value positively predicted their learning engagement. These findings highlight that fostering students’ FTP can enhance their cognitive beliefs and active participation in learning, and suggest that educators can strengthen students’ FTP to further improve cognitive beliefs and promote learning engagement. The results of this study also provide valuable implications for both educational research and practice.
