RESUMO:
In the context of higher education institutions concerned with student retention and potential dropout in undergraduate courses, student engagements and academic achievement studies emerge, associated with efforts to re-signify concepts, theoretical issues, and management practices. This is a study in this context and whose general objective was to analyze the relationship between academic engagement (AE) and academic performance (AD) of undergraduate students, cooperating with the advancement of knowledge on educational and university management. This objective involved identifying how EA and DA of university students were related in published empirical researches from 2008 to 2018, to identify potentialities and weaknesses related to the constructs, as well as to analyze the academic engagement (general and by size) of students of courses of and to examine to what extent academic engagement explains student performance. The reports of the results of the researches are distributed in three articles that compose this dissertation. In article 1, of systematic review of bibliography, of the 1,978 references, published in Brazil and in the world on the academic engagement and performance in 4 databases and Portal of CAPES journals, initially recovered, 45 composed their sample. The results of this systematic review of the literature evidence the subdivision of the field between approaches focusing on individual factors, the pioneer, on contextual factors and a third, developing, approach that combines individual and contextual factors. They also show that the subject under review, although much researched internationally, especially in the United States, is still very little explored in Brazil. The combination of the crisis of higher education in Brazil and the cumulative results accumulated in international research, which have informed strategies of international HEIs and higher education regulatory bodies in the United States, especially to ensure the academic success of their students , motivate the accomplishment of field research in a large public HEI in Brazil and located in the Northeast region, whose results are reported in two other articles that compose this dissertation. The articles that report the results of the field survey, of the census type, analyze the data obtained through the application of the Ultrecht Scale of Academic Engagement (UWES-S), developed by W. Schaufeli and A. Bakker (2003) and translated and adapted to the Portuguese by Rosana Angst, Paulo C. Porto-Martins and Ana Maria T. Benevides-Pereira in 2009. Performance was measured by the coefficient of self-reported performance and the sociodemographic variables were: age, gender, course, course area, course modality, shift in which it was enrolled, year and semester of entry into the course. The instrument was made available to students through the Limesurvey platform and the contact was made by e-mail. Of the total number of questionnaires sent to regularly enrolled and active students in the second semester of 2017 of the IES, 4, 424 make up the sample of this research. Article 2 of the empirical research report aimed to analyze the academic engagement (general and by size) of undergraduate students and sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents. Article 3 of the results of the field research, aimed to examine the extent to which academic engagement explains the performance of undergraduate students. Article 3 of the results of the field research, aimed to examine the extent to which academic engagement explains the performance of undergraduate students. In these two articles statistical descriptive and inferential analyzes, of correlation and of simple linear regression were used. Working students were more engaged, as were the older ones and those coming from courses in the Arts area. The students at the beginning of the course were also more engaged as well as male students. Analysis of the effect of engagement on performance revealed that each point of engagement increased by 0.37 points of performance.
