Abstract
The relevance of studying the notion of academic engagement is due to the fact that the quality of training depends on students’ attitude towards learning, their diligence and classroom participation. The analysis of literature has shown that this concept is not sufficiently studied by scientists. The purpose of the study is to examine the degree of scientific interest in the phenomenon of academic engagement among Russian and foreign scientists. Bibliometric analysis of the scientific and information field of current psychological and pedagogical researches was chosen as the research method. Bibliometric and scientometric analysis was done on the basis of the most widely used international bibliographic databases “Web of Science” and “Scopus”, as well as Russian information and analytical portal “eLIBRARY”. As a result, the extent of prior research on academic engagement was determined, and foreign and Russian approaches to its study, structure and formation were identified. The article can be used by university teaching and management staff for effective planning and organization of the educational process at the university.
