Conceptual model for dropout chilean university student

Abstract

This study proposes a conceptual model that explains the drop/retention as a result of the motivation (positive or negative), which is affected by the academic and social integration. In turn, they are composed of the main features of high school education institutional, family and individual job prospects. In addition, we propose a conceptual model of the dynamic balance of student retention in college by combining academic, social, and institutional factors which illustrates how the student must adapt to changes in the tensions that arise between different factors affecting it.
