  Resumen El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo ahondar en los conceptos de “motivación escolar” y “compromiso escolar” en el contexto de los procesos educativos, examina en qué medida las conceptualizaciones que ofrece la bibliografía anglosajona son compatibles o están representadas en la iberoamericana, con miras a precisar con mayor detalle sus diferencias para favorecer futuras investigaciones o intervenciones. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una revisión teórica que pone en discusión los avances en el análisis de ambos conceptos, se descubrieron similitudes y diferencias en las dimensiones constitutivas de cada una. La de origen iberoamericano trata ambos conceptos como homologables entre sí y produce confusiones conceptuales. Esta revisión permite precisar las diferencias, lo que puede ser de utilidad para favorecer futuras investigaciones o intervenciones.

  Abstract The present research work aims at gaining understanding of what it is referred as “motivation” and “engagement” in the context of educational processes considering points of consensus and debate in the specialized literature. The objective was examining how far the definitions that have been proposed by authors from English-speaking contexts are compatible or have been represented in writings from Iberoamerican context attempting to clarify how are these two constructs related to each other. A review was performed focusing on manuscripts that discussed advances in these subjects. The main conclusions from this revision highlight the similarity of some definitions for both concepts. It is shown that both concepts are being treated as equivalent to each other, enabling potential conceptual confusions. The need for further debating about the relationship between both kinds of processes aiming at achieving higher clarity regarding the differences between the concepts to help future research and interventions is proposed.
