ABSTRACT

This study, based on testimonies of eight students who are attending universities after having dropped out of secondary education, analyzed concept map and through it explored factors that make students drop out of education (risk factors) and factors that motivate them to resume education (promotion factors). 81 risk factors and 58 promotion factors were found. Concept map analysis of the core sentences revealed that risk factors of quitting school could be organized in a two-dimension with “maladaptive relations and controlled environment” and “internal and external factors” on each axis. Risk factors then were classified into four clusters, “conflict with parents, teacher, and school,” “low self-control and sense of alienation due to insufficient support system,” “resistance to existing education and pursuit of excessive autonomy,” and “negative perception of one’s restricted family and social environment.” Promotion factors of resuming education could be organized in a two-dimension with “realistic, practical motivation, coping plan and intrinsic and social support base” and “external and internal resource” on each axis. Promotion factors then were classified into four clusters, “active connection and activities of surrounding resource,” “self-realization of education and educational background,” “effort towards clear goals and plans,” “support and encouragement by parents and surrounding people.” Studying the importance of each cluster, people who quit school chose “resistance to existing education and pursuit of excessive autonomy” as the most significant risk factor and “effort towards clear goals and plans” as the most important promotion factor. Based on these results and responses, this study discusses the risk factors that lead to quitting school and promotion factors of resuming education, as well as the prospect of applying these studies in counseling and limits.
