“…Second, it included the reasons for choosing the degree course, and especially whether the main reason for the choice was vocational, as that had proved to play a key role in decisions to drop out or remain in an academic program (Aparicio-Chueca, Domínguez-Amorós, & Maestro-Yarza, 2019;Author et al, 2016B;Author et al, 2017).…”

Since the implementation of the European Higher Education Area, university dropout rate has become consolidated as an indicator of quality, due to the negative impact it can have. However, there are not many validated instruments available to study it. In this context, the objective of this study was to validate a reduced version of the Early University Dropout Intentions Questionnaire (EUDIQ-R), based on a theoretical model derived from the main studies in this area and with reference to other instruments of interest. To validate the questionnaire, we took a sample of 1921 students from three Spanish universities, and beginning with a preliminary version, produced a final questionnaire with 13 items grouped into three factors: satisfaction, social adaptation, and self-regulation strategies. The final questionnaire had an overall reliability of .865. The subscales also demonstrated satisfactory reliability and the factorial structure of the confirmatory analysis gave good indices of fit, in agreement with the principles, results, and conclusions of studies into dropout.

“…The various theoretical models examine the influence of economic factors on drop out (Bernardo et al, 2016;Donoso & Schiefelbein, 2007;Jensen, 1981), psychological characteristics of students who drop out (Belloc et al, 2011;Bernardo et al, 2016;Fishbein & Ajzen, 1977), sociological variables (Bernardo et al, 2016;Pincus, 1980), the role of the university (Kamens, 1971) and the interactions developed within it (Bernardo et al, 2016;Tinto, 1975). However, the research points out a gap in the differentiation of drop out's interpretive variables, necessary if we take into consideration the different types of drop outs (Aparicio-Chueca et al, 2021).…”

Drop out is a phenomenon imparted of complexity, factorial polysynthesis, and diversity of consequences unfortunately negative in nature. Thus, a thorough comprehension and analysis of the factors affecting drop out and the tendency to it, are crucial. In this paper, the latter is examined in an effort to enlighten the causes behind the manifestation of drop out so as appropriate interventions are applied. In this respect, the present work focused on those factors that exert direct or indirect influence of positive or negative nature on the way students cope with university studies, overcome obstacles and value the university experience. The research was conducted at the University of Patras on a student sample with 696 valid questionnaires. The findings indicate that the principal factors behind the tendency to drop out are the students’ frustration, the absence from their obligatory academic duties, and dissatisfaction with their cognitive subject. On the contrary, the primary factors decreasing the students’ tendency to drop out are the sense of effectiveness in their studies, the perception of gaining valuable things from studying at university, and the creation of good relationships with their fellow students and university teachers.

“…When micro level effects are considered, university dropout has individual consequences, too. Individual investment in higher education cannot be translated into positive outcomes in the job market (Aparicio-Chueca et al, 2021;Archer, 2008;Szabó & Matar, 2021). It is still true that the earnings of university graduates are higher than those of non-graduates, especially in developing countries.…”

This case study investigated the reasons for students dropping out of a university and the experiences associated with the dropout process of individuals who dropped out of the faculty of education in Turkey. We collected data from 10 individuals who dropped out and 8 academic staff members who worked in the same faculty of a state university in the Aegean region in Turkey between 2008 and 2018 using the criterion sampling technique. We collected data using semi-structured interview forms and conducted content analysis. The results revealed that pre-admission factors (I), which are the factors of guidance, personality, system, family, career, and city play decisive roles in the admission process of individuals. These factors can shape their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation before the faculty admission process. After admission, the university processes factors (II) such as psychological condition, academic condition, social condition, organizational situation, appointment factors, military service, family situation, and financial situation are determinant factors on individuals’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivations in their university experience. After the dropout decision, individuals either drop out of the system or change department/university. Findings point out that the reasons for and process of the dropout are interdependent and divergent. Recommendations for future investigations and practices are presented based on our findings.
