Description
The university drop-out is a complex phenomenon that has different implications both at an individual and at a structural level. In this poster, we present a study to explore the relationships between engagement, psychological distress, academic motivation, the intention to leave the university, the actual drop-out and academic performance. The study will involve about 1000 students enrolled in the first year of Physics and Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics university courses. The preliminary results will be presented at the conference. The study may help to develop guidance interventions aimed at addressing the “leaky pipeline” in physics and STEM undergraduate courses.
