The research aimed at understanding to what extent the professor helps the academic engagement in the Pedagogy Course from Federal University of Fronteira Sul, campus Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul, from the students’ perspective. For such, 139 questionnaires with questions relating to the identification of professors’ and lessons’ profiles that attract and engage more students, were given to students from different semesters of the course. Results were divided into two categories: (I) teachers’ characteristics and practices appreciated by students and (II) students’ projections for their professional future. The results were analyzed by the Content Analysis from Bardin (2016). It is concluded that the contributions of professors for the academic engagement are by means of active learning proposals, meaningful experiences and a relation of confidence and reliability between professor and student. To conclude, considering the lack of Brazilian tools to evaluate the academic engagement, we present possible indicators of how instrumentalizing this evaluation.
