ALMEIDA, Leandro S. et al. Development of a transcultural questionnaire of motives for higher education dropout. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.18, n.2, pp.201-209. ISSN 1677-0471.  https://doi.org/10.15689/ap.2019.1802.17694.11.

The dropout in higher education assumes relevant percentages, with negative consequences for the students, family, institution and society in general. In order to know the reasons for the dropout intention, researchers from Brazil, Spain and Portugal converged on the construction of a transcultural questionnaire. Face the multidimensional nature of dropout causes, the questionnaire assesses six dimensions: Social, Academic, Faculty, Health and Wellbeing, Institutional, and Financial. The factorial analysis, with autonomous samples of first-year students from Brazil, Spain and Portugal, showed an adequate distribution of the items by the six dimensions, with some difficulties in Faculty dimension in Brazilian sample. The internal consistency of items reached adequate levels in those six dimensions (values range from .74 to .91). Future developments should test the dimensionality of the questionnaire and its invariance in all three countries, including other psychological and academic variables for criterion validity analysis.

Palavras-chave : higher education; dropout reasons; first-year students.
