Steffen Wild; Sebastian Rahn; Thomas Meyer – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2024
Dropout rates in engineering degree programmes at universities are high, and skilled workers are needed. Universities try to prevent dropouts with different offers one of which is attending bridging courses. Research on the effects of these programmes is rare, especially in subject-specific programmes and study formats like cooperative education.…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the dynamic relationship between unemployment and higher education participation. By using panel data covering 40 sub-Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2020, we opt to use a well-developed dynamic panel generalized method of moments estimator. The findings show that the youth unemployment rate has…

Sgobbi, Francesca – Education Economics, 2022
Remedial courses may support under-prepared candidates for higher education, but their effectiveness is still questioned especially in European countries, where their introduction is comparably recent. This paper implements a doubly robust estimator to account for heterogeneity between remedial and nonremedial students and possible noncompliance…

Garyfalia Charitaki; Georgia Andreou; Anastasia Alevriadou; Spyridon-Georgios Soulis – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
While open and distance education gains growing recognition over time, it also faces increasing drop-out rates. Consequently, the development of predictive models for early identification of students at-risk for drop-out could be critical to promote ongoing engagement. This study aims to gain insights into the dropout prediction problem in a…

Deho, Oscar Blessed; Zhan, Chen; Li, Jiuyong; Liu, Jixue; Liu, Lin; Duy Le, Thuc – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
With the widespread use of learning analytics (LA), ethical concerns about fairness have been raised. Research shows that LA models may be biased against students of certain demographic subgroups. Although fairness has gained significant attention in the broader machine learning (ML) community in the last decade, it is only recently that attention…

Messerer, Laura A. S.; Karst, Karina; Janke, Stefan – Studies in Higher Education, 2023
Student dropout is a frequent phenomenon in higher education institutions that entails high costs for individuals, institutions, and society as a whole. Thus, it is crucial to identify protective factors regarding dropout in cases in which it could have been prevented. In line with Person-Environment Fit Theory, we assume that intrinsic motivation…

Kiprianos, Pandelis; Mpourgos, Ioannis – Journal of Adult and Continuing Education, 2022
In this article, we explore the reasons why individuals who have dropped out of compulsory education in Greece return as adults to the educational system, particularly to Second Chance Schools. Second Chance Schools were planned and funded by the European Union two decades ago so that member states could offset the consequences of student dropout…

Nick Hillman – Higher Education Policy Institute, 2024
Observers of education often assume measuring non-continuation -- or, more colloquially, "drop-out" rates -- among students must be straightforward. In fact, there are numerous different ways to measure the phenomenon of non-continuation that make it challenging to discuss. This paper addresses the following questions regarding…
