Therefore, this systematic review aims to analyze the findings of the scientific production related to academic motivation in higher education, published between the last 5 years (2016-2021) in the Web of Science, Scopus and SciELO databases. in order to guide decision-making in the educational processes of higher education. The method corresponds to a systematic, qualitative review of documentary analysis defined in emerging categories and subcategories. The main findings indicate that there is great interest in addressing academic motivation from different types of methodological study such as descriptive, relationships/correlations, profiles with cluster analysis, structural equation models. There is also, although to a lesser extent, research on the creation and validation of instruments to measure academic motivation in higher education. It is believed that the results of this review may constitute a contribution to the development of new proposals for theoretical constructs and instruments on academic motivation for university education.
