Absenteeism being an important precursor of school drop-out, the authors of the study wanted to better understand the factors associated with absenteeism among students accumulating risk factors for drop-out.
The study was structured around a double objective:
• Better understanding the vision of the school students at risk of drop-out have developed
• Identifying the variables related to their absenteeism
The results highlight the role of social integration within the school, in the dynamics of absenteeism among these students (quality of relationships with teachers and with other students as well as school identification).
For the realization of this study, structured interviews were conducted with 41 students in upper secondary education.
