Students’ Engagement in School has been the focus of debate concerning academic success and
school dropout, and pointed out as a mean to address the problems affecting our schools and their
students, not only for having value in itself, but also for being an important mediator between several
academic variables. This paper reviews the research and literature on this concept and its relations
with personal and contextual variables, as well as with academic performance, with the aim of
summarizing the main relationships found. Literature presents a significant number of studies which
sustain that personal variables, such as self-efficacy and self-concept, as well as contextual - peers,
school, family- are related with school engagement. The adoption of mastery goals, for instance, has a
positive impact on school, as they are related with the use of cognitive and self-regulatory strategies
by students. Positive relationships with peers, teachers support and the quality of family relations are
associated with higher levels of engagement and academic performance, while negative experiences,
such as bullying, are related with educational difficulties. Following this, we reflect about the relevance
of studying engagement in school, in the context of widespread financial crisis, and emphasize the
need to rethink educational institutions considering the paradigmatic changes that currently occur.
