Predicting Dropout among Hispanic Youth and Children.

Friedenberg, Joan E.

Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, v36 n3 p70-85 Spr 1999

Disadvantaged Mexican dropouts aged 16-22 (n=25) and 25 Hispanic elementary students completed dropout-prediction instruments. Elementary students were unable to consider their future and self-report was not viable for them. Among dropouts, pregnancy and moving around were salient predictors. Modifications of the instruments were recommended. (SK)
