Introduction
: academic commitment is a construct that manifests itself through the connection of students to academic activities, which are considered as a positive challenge.
Objective
: To analyze the academic commitment of students from 3 universities in the Peruvian Amazon during the postpandemic context. Method: The approach was quantitative; the design was nonexperimental and the type was descriptive transectional. Academic engagement was assessed in 354 students by applying the UWESS Scale, an instrument with adequate levels of content validity and reliability. Results: It was found that 39.3% of the students presented moderate levels of academic engagement and it was determined that this variable was significantly associated with gender, university of origin and study modality of the participants.
Discussion
: It is necessary for universities to promote the cognitive, affective and attitudinal domains of students to improve their academic engagement.
Keywords : academic engagement; students; university education; postpandemic.
