Abstract(s)
O abandono escolar e o insucesso educativo são problemas que afetam e impactam de forma direta os estudantes do ensino superior, o sistema de ensino superior e, consequentemente, a sociedade, pois na perspetiva de uma economia crescentemente apoiada pelo conhecimento e pela inovação, é dada relevância às qualificações académicas de nível superior. Este artigo tem como finalidade apresentar e refletir sobre um conjunto de possíveis motivos que podem conduzir ao abandono no ensino superior(nomeadamente questões de ordem vocacional, insucesso escolar, perceção de dificuldades de empregabilidade, dificuldades económicas, motivos profissionais, dificuldades no processo de integração), bem como uma possível estratégia a que as instituições do ensino superior podem recorrer para o combater -o voluntariado. Consideramos que,mais importante do que a ideia de combate às consequências do abandono escolar, importa perceber que a prevenção é o primeiro passo para que, futuramente, se consiga diminuir os números de abandono e aumentar o sucesso e bem-estar dos estudantes.
School dropout and failure are problems that directly affect and impact upon higher education students, the higher education system and, consequently, society, since in the perspective of an economy increasingly supported by knowledge and innovation, higher academic qualifications are given relevance. The purpose of this article is to provide and reflect on a number of possible factors that may lead to dropout in higher education (including vocational issues, school failure, perceived employability difficulties, economic difficulties, professional reasons, difficulties in the integration process), as well as a possible strategy that higher education institutions can use to combat it - volunteering. We believe that, more important than the idea of combating the consequences of dropping out, it is important to realize that prevention (through measures and strategies) is the first step towards reducing the numbers of dropouts and increasing the success and well-being of students in the future.
