Summary / Abstract:

ENBased on the experience of Lithuanian and foreign researchers and practitioners, the article theoretically justifies the reasons for dropping out of studies and provides options for reducing them. The study aimed to identify the factors determining dropout and their relationship with students' attitudes towards studies. Research methods: a quantitative method (questionnaire survey) was used to investigate students' attitudes toward the reasons for withdrawing from their studies; a statistical analysis method was used to process the data collected during the study. Using the Student's t criterion, indicators and differences in attitudes towards the factors determining withdrawal from studies were examined and compared in two groups of subjects: 1) students who had never thought about dropping out of their studies; 2) students who had thought about dropping out of their studies at least once. The study results will have practical implications for improving the quality of organising the study process in higher education by reducing the number of students who intend to discontinue their studies. Keywords: factors influencing withdrawal from studies; higher education studies; students; attitude to studies. [From the publication]
