Study on University Dropouts In the Context of the Romanian Education System Reform

After 2010, the Romanian university system registered an increase of dropout cases. This aspect requires to identify and implement some alternative methods of action at the national level with the unique scope to prevent and combat early university dropout. The good motivation of the students for their studies is increasingly low. Some of the causes which determine this phenomenon are well known and quite difficult to remove, as for example the financial and intellectual development level of the family from where they come. These aspects can often be decisive factors in the emergence of the school dropout phenomenon. But these aspects are certainly not the only causes. This is the reason for which other aspects, which determine the students to dropping out the school and can be more easily corrected, must be identified. The aim of this paper is to present these aspects, emphasizing the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to limit absenteeism and university dropout. For this purpose, we present a questionnaire applied at "Ovidius" University on a target group of students. The participants consisted of 500 students from 5 faculties of our university. With this questionnaire we want to identify patterns and trends in the evolution of absenteeism and university dropout.

Factors affecting school dropout: Comparative study of rural and urban settings

Education remains the key to development in all countries. Thus, every country is making efforts to promote education for all. However, despite these efforts, the school dropout rate continues to rise. With this in mind, this research is carried out with the aim of analyzing the factors underlying the phenomenon of school dropout in rural and urban areas. Mixed research method was carried out on one hundred and six (106) participants identified using purposive and accidental sampling techniques. Due to the similar characteristics of the population and its unknown size (exact number of students who dropped out in the two municipalities being unknown), it was logical, for statistical reasons, to determine the size of this sample accordingly. Data processing was based on an analytical model inspired by Viau’s (1999) theory of motivational dynamics and Ryan and Deci’s (1985) theory of self-determination. The results research show that a student’s environment necessarily influences his or her school life. School dropout in rural areas, unlike in urban areas, is more influenced by economic factors and those linked to the family circle. The identified specific factors imply policy decisions and interventions tailored to the needs of students in urban and rural communities.

Spatially-informed insights into early marriage and school dropout: An advanced bivariate binary multilevel model for understanding Ethiopia's context

The phenomenon of school dropout, which entails the failure to meet the minimum educational requirements, and early marriage, which involves the marital union of girls prior to attaining 18 years of age, constitute crucial issues in Ethiopia. This research endeavor sought to identify the determinants of these two outcomes. A weighted sample of 3091 girls who had experienced early marriage and school dropout was drawn from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) dataset and analyzed utilizing bivariate binary multilevel models featuring spatial effects. The prevalence rates of early marriage and school dropout were 62.9 % and 75.4 %, respectively. We observed non-uniform spatial distributions of early marriage and school dropout across Ethiopia. The odds ratio of the association between early marriage and school dropout was 1.39, indicating a significant interdependence of these two outcomes. The probability of early marriage and school dropout was estimated to be 1.63 and 1.18 times higher, respectively, for girls hailing from rural areas and 1.70 and 1.23 times higher, respectively, for those classified in the poorest wealth index, as compared to their counterparts. Therefore, stakeholders and policymakers must prioritize hotspots, socio-economic, and demographic factors to achieve a meaningful reduction in the incidence of early marriage and school dropout.

Experiências no combate ao abandono e evasão escolar no Brasil

This article aims to understand the phenomenon of school dropout and evasion in basic education and its main consequences. The research sought to answer the following questions: What are the main reasons that lead students to drop out of basic school? What are the consequenses of dropping out or evading from the basic school? The study was conducted through bibliographic research, based on authors such as Arroyo (2010), Ávila (2015), Branco (2020), Moura (2020), among others. It was found the main causes of school dropout and evasion are teenage pregnancy, alcohol and substance use, premature entry into the labor market, and social inequality. It was noticed that the problem of school dropout and evasion is not linear, but rather a cycle where most causes are also consequences. Its tacking requires more efficient public policies, political commitment, and social organization.

Advancing school dropout early warning systems: the IAFREE relational model for identifying at-risk students.

There is a global effort to address the school dropout phenomenon. The urgency to act on it comes from the harmful evidence that school dropout has on societal and individual levels. Early Warning Systems (EWS) for school dropout at-risk student identification have been developed to anticipate and help schools have a better chance of acting on it. However, several studies point to a doubt that Correct EWS may come too late because they use only publicly available and general student and school information. We hypothesize that having a tool to assess more subjective and inter-relational factors would help anticipate where and when to act to prevent school dropout. This study aimed to develop a multidimensional measure for assessing relational factors for predicting school dropout (SD) risk in the Brazilian context. We performed several procedures, including (a) the specialized literature review, (b) the item development of the Relational Factors for the Risk of School Dropout Scale (IAFREE in Portuguese), (c) the content validity analysis, (d) a pilot study, and (e) the administration of the IAFREE to a large Brazilian sample of high school and middle school students (N = 15,924). After the theoretical steps, we found content validity for five relational dimensions for SD (Student-School, Student-School Professionals, Student-Family, Student-Community, and Student-Student) that include 12 facets of risk factors. At the empirical stage, confirmatory analysis corroborated the proposed theoretical model with 12 first-order risk factors and 5 s-order dimensions (36 items). Further, through the Item Response Theory analysis, we assessed the individual item parameters of the items, providing a brief measure without losing psychometric quality (IAFREE-12). We discuss how this model may fill gaps in Correct EWS models and how to advance it. The IAFREE is a good measure for scholars investigating the risk of SD. These results are important for implementing an early warning system for SD that looks into the complexity of the school dropout phenomenon.

A Qualitative Study of Rural School Girls’ Perspective of Dropping Out of Secondary Vocational Schools in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (GZAR) in China

Secondary vocational education has always been the focus of national education. China vigorously develops secondary vocational education and even encourages secondary vocational students to complete their studies through tuition reduction or exemption. However, the phenomenon of school dropout has not yet been resolved, which has seriously affected the normal development of secondary vocational education in our country. In rural China, many girls drop out of school at the secondary vocational level, and their reasons are also different. This study used a qualitative research method to study three secondary vocational school dropout girls in P village. It explores and analyzes the various factors that affect and restrict their dropout to suggest solving secondary vocational school dropout in rural areas. This study used semi-structured interviews to collect data and used Nvivo for data analysis. The research found that the reasons for female secondary vocational school students dropping out include (a) secondary vocational girls are susceptible to interference from the external environment, (b) secondary vocational female students have poor resistance to frustration, and (c) indulging in games—entertainment activities.

CONSEQUENCES ON SCHOOL PARTICIPATION AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT IN ROMANIAN TRANSNATIONAL FAMILIES

In families that have at least one parent working outside the country’s borders, known as transnational families, emotional support provided to children is affected after the migration. The phenomenon of school dropout among children whose parents are working abroad is increasing in families affected by poverty, even after the parents’ departure. The literature also emphasizes that the school drop-out is connected more to the lack of surveillance and parents’ authority. The aim of this paper is to explore the consequences on school participation and child development in Romanian transnational families. A quantitative research methodology was employed in this regard. The survey-based research had as a target group parents/grandparents from families who have children up to 17 years from Romanian transnational families. The total sample size was 804 parents/grandparents. The survey was carried out in two developing regions of Romania most affected by poverty and temporary/permanent migration. Our results indicate that the lack of financial support creates the risk of school absenteeism. The dysfunctionality of the family's educational function also has consequences on the child's development and school participation. Findings provide new insights regarding consequences on school participation and child development in Romanian transnational families.

The Phenomenon of Students Dropping Out of Public School in Aqaba Governorate

The phenomenon of school dropout exists in all countries. An educational reality cannot be devoid of this phenomenon, but it varies in its severity and exacerbation from one society to another, and from one school stage to another, and from one region to another.

School Dropout Determinants in Rural Communities: The Effect of Poverty and Family Characteristics

This article presents the results of a quantitative research in a Romanian rural community, which aimed to analyze how the socio-economic conditions and family type can influence the phenomenon of school dropout. The results of our research are also confirmed by the results of other specialized studies that highlight the fact that 1 in 2 children living in rural Romania are at risk of poverty and socio-economic marginalization. Or, poverty and socio-economic marginalization, to which we can add the family profile (especially the parents’ level of education), are the main determinants of the school dropout of children living in rural communities. In order to verify this hypothesis, our research was conducted on a sample of 363 people from a rural community in South-Western Romania, which is in line with the national demographic trends existing in the rural communities exposed to marginalization and poverty: a decreasing birth rate in the last 5 years, a high mortality (above county average), a negative natural growth, a high share of the illiterate, a high share of people whom children are facing difficulties in access to education etc.
