- Competências emocionais e prevenção do abandono nos estudantes do ensino superior politécnicoPublication . Ferreira, Manuela; Duarte, João; Cardoso, Ana Paula; Rosário Cabral, Lídia; Guiné, Raquel; Margarida Campos, Sofia; Alves, CândidaCONTEXTO: Nos últimos anos, a comunidade científica foi tomando consciência da importância do desenvolvimento de competências emocio - nais para o sucesso escolar e profissional dos estudantes. OBJETIVO(S): Identificar os fatores que influenciam o abandono escolar dos estudantes do ensino superior politécnico. Analisar a relação entre as competências emocionais e o abandono escolar dos estudantes do Ensino Superior Politécnico. METODOLOGIA: Estudo quantitativo, transversal, descritivo e correlacional. O instrumento de recolha de dados utilizado foi questionário de caracterização sociodemográfica dos estudantes e dos pais, a Escala de Motivos para Abandono do Ensino Superior (Ambiel, 2015) e a Escala Com - petências Emocionais (Taksic’, 2000), adaptada para Portugal por Faria e Santos (2006). Amostra constituída por 560 estudantes do ensino superior a frequentarem o 1.º ano do curso. RESULTADOS: Participaram 560 estudantes do ensino superior a frequentarem o 1.º ano do curso, maioritariamente feminina (69,3%), com uma idade mínima de 18 anos e uma máxima de 30 anos, correspondendo-lhe uma média de 19,76 anos (±2,06 anos), 36,6% da área da tecnologia. O sexo influenciou o abandono escolar dos estudantes do ensino superior, sendo os estudantes do sexo feminino os que revelam mais motivos para o abandono (p=0,010). Os estudantes cujas mães se encontram ativas profissionalmente manifestam mais Intenção de abandono (p=0,035). A per- ceção emocional, a expressão emocional e a capacidade de lidar com as emoções foram preditoras da intenção de abandono escolar. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de inclusão nos programas de intervenção contra o abandono escolar, das variáveis sexo, idade e algumas dimensões das competências emocionais, para minimizar, assim, as suas consequências, quer para os estudantes, quer para a própria sociedade.
- Higher education students’ dropout intention: relational factors and life managementPublication . Ferreira, Manuela; Margarida Campos, Sofia; Guiné, Raquel; Duarte, João; Abrantes, José Luís; Rosário Cabral, Lídia; Balula, JessicaSchool dropouts are a problem with which educational systems have been struggling over the last years. This issue, that may jeopardize the quality of the school institution and of the education system itself, tends to get more and more serious and may be related to the students’ Quality of Academic Life (QAL) and to the formal nature of the learning processes. To identify the relationship between the Quality of Academic Life and higher education students’ dropout intentions and to analyse the impact of some socio-demographic variables on higher education students’ dropout intention were the main objectives that were defined for this study. A quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study was conducted. In order to collect the data that will be used in our study, we used a questionnaire that allowed us to gather information about the demographic characterization of the students and of their parents and the Brazilian Reasons for Higher Education Dropout Scale (M-ES; 2015). The sample consists of 891 students from polytechnic higher education institutions who were attending courses in different scientific fields. Participants are mostly female (68.2%), with a mean age of 19.68 years (± 2.34 years). Students who are ≤ 19 years old are those who show a better quality of life in dimension that involve their personal and interpersonal lives, their study conditions, their institutional life and their overall quality of life. Female students exhibit higher ratings when they refer to the quality of their personal life, their career, their study conditions, to their institutional and their overall quality of life, while male students reveal a better interpersonal quality of life. The causes of school dropout in higher education are multiple and the implementation of interventions that can provide students with an easier and better academic and institutional integration are increasingly important, a procedure that will involve the strengthening of the support provided by the academic services in order to better monitor and optimize processes and to provide more information about the requirements of academic life.

- Learning difficulties in students of the 3rd year of a public school in the state of Alagoas, Brazil: A vision of psychoeducationPublication . Silva, Daniel; Rodrigues, Marizete; Batoca Silva, Ernestina; Duarte, João; Rosário Cabral, Lídia; Bica, I.This article seeks to analyze learning difficulties in students of the third year of schooling and to relate some sociodemographic, family and school factors that contribute to failure rates in elementary education in a school in the state of Alagoas, Brazil. A quantitative, exploratory-descriptive study was carried out on a sample of 178 students from a public school. The results indicate that one third of the students live with only one parent and the same percentage say that the family environment is bad or very bad. More than half of the parents (53.4%) do not help their children in studies or homework and 41.6% of the parents do not have education. With our study we found students with high failure rates as 26.4% have already failed and 42.6% of these have failed twice and 36.2% have failed 3 or more times. Educators should reflect on these rates and on the influence the family has on children’s learning and take appropriate action as poorly structured, uneducated, and uninvolved families are influenced by student failure.
