ABSTRACT

The present study provides an integrative review of dropout prevention programs, giving directions and implications for developing future programs. We reviewed 11 programs developed from the year 2000 to 2014 by applying Kratochwill and Stoiber (2002)’s Evidence-Based Intervention criteria and Kim (2011)’s model for program development and evaluation. Analyses revealed that many studies did not conduct needs analysis and consultation in developing programs. The majority provided empirical bases for their programs without giving theoretical rationale. Only one study implemented an alternative program and compared it with the treatment group. None reported effect sizes, nor did they examined whether the effects of the program sustained after the study ended. In addition, none of them reported validity information of the measures, nor did they examine the relations of program components to the criterion variables. Implications are discussed in relation to development, implementation and evaluation of future dropout prevention programs.
