The article analyzes the academic engagement and its pedagogical implications. The analysis is part of the study group: “Engagement estudantil, calidad de los aprendizajes y abandono en la universidad”, is part of 11 research groups, developed in Cooperation Networks in six different countries. The word engagement reveals itself as having a multiplicity of meanings of comprehensiveness and complex difficulty as attempts to establish a unique concept capable of assembling the residues that compose it. We identify the existence of different types of engagement (personal, moral, social, professional, identity, academic, relational) that, because they refer to the diversity of individuals’ lives, are analyzed in isolation in different areas of knowledge. We reflect on how institutions of higher education, which have sought strategies to favor not only access, but a permanence of students in university courses in order to reduce student apathy to the academic world and minimize high rates of evasion.

Palabras clave : Academic engagement; Higher Education; Permanence in Higher Education.
