The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of teacher support on academic achievement, with the mediating effects of learning engagement and learning task value. Based on previous research, a relevant research model and hypotheses were developed and tested. To scientifically validate the proposed research model and hypotheses, college students from four universities in Henan Province, China, were selected as survey respondents. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed, and 430 valid responses were collected and analyzed, resulting in a response rate of 86%. The collected data were used to conduct reliability and validity analyses, descriptive statistical analyses, difference analyses, correlation analyses, and structural equation modeling. The relationships among variables were identified, and the mediating effects were verified. The analysis results are as follows. First, teacher support has a significant impact on academic achievement. Second, teacher support significantly influences learning engagement. Third, learning engagement has a significant effect on academic achievement. Fourth, teacher support has a significant effect on learning task value. Fifth, learning task value significantly impacts academic achievement. Sixth, teacher support significantly affects academic achievement through learning engagement, with the mediating effect of learning engagement being statistically significant. Seventh, teacher support significantly influences academic achievement through learning task value, with the mediating effect of learning task value being statistically significant. Based on the findings, this study provides the following insights: In China, universities should strengthen teacher support through targeted initiatives from both theoretical and practical perspectives. These measures can enhance students' capacity for academic achievement. Additionally, the findings indicate that teacher support indirectly influences Chinese college students' academic achievement through the factors of learning engagement and learning task value.
