OLIVEIRA, Edison Trombeta de; CALDINI, Carolina  and  COUTINHO, Camila Caldini. Definition of student engagement in higher education: a bibliometric study. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2023, vol.28, e023009.  Epub June 26, 2023. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772023000100009.

This article aims to present perspectives on student engagement, its possibilities and the challenges faced by students during their path in Higher Education. Thus, through bibliometric research, we searched the SciELO database for publications to identify the different approaches referring to the theme of this work. From the collected data, we selected 24 articles for analysis. We found that the use of the term student engagement encompasses several aspects, such as: behavioral, emotional, and cognitive. In addition, we noticed that the term has varied and peculiar characteristics. Furthermore, we observed in the articles that there is no clear correlation between engagement and learning, a factor that may be the subject of studies for future research.

Keywords : student engagement; higher education; learning; bibliometric study.
