Currently, students studying at higher educational institutions must meet a number of requirements. This includes involvement in the educational process. Higher school teachers are required to monitor the level of engagement, as well as to form it among students. In the theoretical part of the article, the authors consider approaches to the interpretation of involvement. The authors compare it with terms that are consonant and similar in content. They also conducted an analysis of engagement studies in the framework of organizational, socio-pedagogical and psychological-pedagogical directions. The purpose of the empirical study is to identify the qualitative characteristics of students’ involvement in educational activities in the representation of teachers and students. 80 respondents took part in the study (university teachers and students of 2-5 courses of socio-humanitarian and psychological-pedagogical areas of training). As a result, the authors identified meaningful characteristics of involvement in educational activities. In addition, they identified a number of factors that have a stronger impact on the formation of students’ involvement in educational activities. The scientific novelty of the work is the presentation of the analysis of approaches to involvement, the analysis of the content characteristics of students’ involvement in educational activities, as well as the factors of formation of this type of involvement.
