Academic disinterest in the university environment, as a pivotal psychological construct, is linked to reduced motivation, university attendance, and academic engagement, potentially resulting in adverse outcomes such as diminished academic performance and dropout. This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess academic disinterest in the university environment among students. Conducted as a survey and applied research in the 2024-2025 academic year in Ardakan, the study involved a sample of 375 students selected via cluster sampling. The research instruments comprised the Academic Disinterest in the University Environment Questionnaire, Pekrun’s Academic Boredom Questionnaire, and Schaufeli’s Academic Engagement Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, Pearson correlation, KMO and Bartlett’s test, and SPSS version 26 and AMOS version 24 software. Exploratory factor analysis revealed two factors—institutional barriers and negative faculty behavior—accounting for 68.404% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the model fit (RMSEA = 0.058; CFI = 0.972; GFI = 0.931). Convergent validity was established through a positive correlation with academic boredom (r = 0.517), while divergent validity was confirmed by a negative correlation with academic engagement (r = -0.533). The overall scale reliability, assessed via Cronbach’s alpha, was 0.946. The Academic Disinterest in the University Environment Questionnaire proved to be a reliable and valid instrument for measuring disinterest among students, offering utility in identifying at-risk students and designing interventions to enhance academic engagement.
