School Engagement: A Literature Review Covering Teacher-Student Relationship and Bullying

School engagement, Teacher-student relationship, BullyingAbstract
A systematic literature review on the influence of teacher-student relationship and bullying involvement on student school engagement was conducted based on the PRISMA protocol. The databases ERIC, LILACS, PsycINFO, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science, and CAPES Periodicals Portal were consulted. 35 articles were analyzed, indicating that teacher-student relationship and bullying involvement are correlated with student school engagement and may predict it. Thus, students who have positive teacher-student relationships tend to have higher school engagement, while students who have conflicting teacher-student relationships or have some bullying involvement tend to have lower school engagement. Results have been inconsistent regarding the combination effects of teacher-student relationship and bullying involvement on student school engagement.
