School engagement, defined as the relationship between student and school experiences, is essential for education. Thus, factors from the school context which may influence school engagement, especially interpersonal relations among school members, has been investigated. Therefore, the present research aimed to investigate the influence of bullying involvement and teacher-student relationship on student school engagement. For this, the present work is a compilation of two scientific manuscripts. The first paper presents a review of Brazilian and international literature on the influence of teacher-student relationship and bullying involvement on school engagement. The databases ERIC, LILACS, PsycINFO, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science and CAPES Periodicals Portal were consulted, from 2007 to November 2016, using the terms "teacher-student relationship", "bullying" and "school engagement", as well as their correlates in Portuguese. The inclusion criteria were scientific papers, in Portuguese or English, available online, which investigated an association between the variables of interest. 174 articles were found, of which 160 were excluded after reading the title and/or abstract, remaining 14 articles of the initial search. In addition, nine manuscripts known by the authors which did not appear in the initial search, but met the inclusion criteria, were added. Therefore, 23 articles were analyzed and results showed 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. Furthermore, it has been identified that there is a lack of evidence regarding the simultaneous effects of bullying involvement and teacher-student relationship on school engagement. In this context, the second study was conducted, in which an explanatory model of school engagement was analyzed, considering the mutual influence of teacher-student relationship and bullying involvement. For this, 426 Brazilian Elementary School students (grades 6-9), from four public schools located in a city of São Paulo State, Brazil, answered the Escala de Violência Escolar – Versão Estudante (School Violence Scale – Student Version), Escala de Relação Professor-Aluno (Student-Teacher Relationship Scale) and School Engagement Scale. Results indicated that bullying involvement has a direct negative impact on school engagement, while teacher-student relationship has a direct positive impact on school engagement. In addition, bullying involvement and teacher-student relationship can simultaneously influence school engagement, and teacher-student relationship would mediate the impacts of bullying involvement on student school engagement. Results obtained in these two studies confirm the importance of promoting positive social relations in school. Keywords: bullying; teacher-student relationship; school engagement.
