RESUMEN
Dada la relación del engagement, un tipo intenso de compromiso, con el desempeño en contextos laborales y educacionales, así como su importancia como factor motivacional en la formación de estudiantes autónomos, el presente estudio analiza qué características académicas y sociodemográficas se asocian con él. Para esto se encuestó a 109 estudiantes de Odontología de una universidad privada, aplicándoseles la Utrech Work Engagement Scale Student, el Cuestionario de satisfacción académica y un cuestionario sociodemográfico, además de recabar datos de sus fichas académicas. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes con un mayor engagement global eran mujeres, quienes ingresaron con mayores puntajes en Matemáticas, llevaban más tiempo en la universidad, tenían mejores calificaciones y los más satisfechos con la carrera. Las relaciones en los dos factores del instrumento difieren de las anteriores, pero apuntan a la importancia de las prácticas clínicas y la experiencia estudiantil en el desarrollo del engagement.
ABSTRACT
Given the relationship of engagement - an intensive type of commitment - and the performance in work and educational settings as well as the importance of engagement as a motivational factor for the formation of autonomous students, the present study analyzed the academic and sociodemographic characteristics associated to it. To this end, 109 dentistry students from a private university were surveyed by using Utrech Work Engagement Scale Student, the academic satisfaction questionnaire and a sociodemographic questionnaire in addition to collecting data from their academic records. The results showed that those students with greatest global engagement were women, who entered the university with the highest scores in Mathematics, stayed longer at the university, had better marks in general and were the most satisfied with their career. The relationships in the two factors of this instrument differed from the previous ones, but pointed to the importance of clinical practices and of the student´s experiences for the development of engagement.
