Abandono universitario: predictores y mediadores en estudiantes universitarios chilenos de primer año / University Dropout: Predictors and Mediators in First-Year Chilean University Students

Resumen La integración social en los primeros años de universidad ha mostrado ser muy relevante para propiciar que los estudiantes participen de forma comprometida, obtengan buenos resultados académicos y permanezcan en sus estudios. La pandemia por COVID-19 ha impuesto barreras a la integración social de los estudiantes, cambiando las formas de la relación interpersonal. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar un modelo en que el aislamiento y el apoyo social percibidos (variables de integración social) son predictores de la intención de abandono y se encuentran mediados por el sentido de pertenencia. Se realizó un estudio con diseño transversal asociativo-predictivo, mediante la prueba de modelos de mediación, con 700 participantes de primer año de una universidad chilena. Los resultados mostraron un efecto indirecto estadísticamente significativo de las variables de integración social sobre la intención de abandono. A su vez, no se observaron efectos directos de dichas variables sobre la intención de abandono. Estos resultados permiten, primero, indicar que, durante la educación virtual de emergencia, con sus barreras para la interacción social y académica, las variables de integración logran predecir la intención de abandonar los estudios mediante su efecto sobre el sentido de pertenencia; además, orientan las preocupaciones de las instituciones de educación superior para poner atención sobre las condiciones en las que la integración social ocurre en los medios virtuales y con las restricciones de la interacción que le son propias.

Abstract Social integration in university freshmen has proven to be very relevant to encourage students to participate in an engaged way, obtain good academic results and continue with their university studies. The Covid-19 Pandemic imposed barriers to the social integration of students, changing the forms of interpersonal relationships. The objective of this research was to evaluate a predictive model in which perceived isolation and social support (social integration variables) are predictors of the intention to dropout mediated by the sense of belonging. A study with an associative-predictive cross-sectional design was carried out by testing mediation models with 700 first-year participants from a Chilean university. The results showed a statistically significant indirect effect of the social integration variables on dropout intention. In turn, no direct effects of these variables on the intention to quit were observed. These results indicate that, during emergency virtual education with its barriers to social and academic interaction, the integration variables can predict the intention to drop out of school through their effect on the sense of belonging. These results encourage higher education institutions to pay attention to the conditions in which social integration occurs in virtual media and with the interaction restrictions that are inherent to it.

Sentimento de Pertencimento e Desenvolvimento da Moralidade na Escola / The Sense of Belonging and the Development of Morality in Schools

Resumo O presente artigo discute a importância de a escola oferecer um "espaço para o brincar" para crianças que enfrentam conflitos morais sérios. Mediante a apresentação de vinhetas, analisa alguns diálogos travados durante o brincar em uma sala de aula, entre uma criança e uma bolsista participante do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência - PIBID/Capes. À luz de conceitos da psicanálise, o estudo demonstra como o brincar promove um ambiente suficientemente bom que, com a ajuda de um adulto significativo, é vital para que aspectos morais sejam abordados sem moralismos ou racionalizações e para que o sentimento de pertencimento permita à criança usufruir mais profundamente do ambiente escolar.

Abstract This article discusses the importance of school offering a "space to play" for children who face serious moral conflicts. Through the presentation of vignettes, it analyzes some dialogues exchanges, during classroom playtime, between a child and a grant-holder participating in the PIBID/Capes Institutional Teacher Training Grant Program. In the light of psychoanalytical concepts, the study demonstrates how play promotes a good-enough environment that, with the help of a significant adult, is vital for moral aspects to be dealt without moralism or rationalizations, and for the feeling of belonging to allow a child to have a deeper enjoyment of the school environment.

Descriptive and inferential statistics was performed using SPSS.

We conclude that there was a significant positive association between students' sense of belonging at school and cannabis use.

Sense of belonging and social identity on the settlement intentions of rural-urban migrants: evidence from China / O efeito do senso e identidade social nas intenções de assentamento de migrantes rurais-urbanos: evidências da China

Drawing upon data from the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey (CLDS) of 2012 and 2014, this paper uses the panel binary choice model to examine the determinants of the settlement intentions of rural-urban migrants. Results showed that both a sense of belonging and social identity play important roles in determining rural-urban migrants settlement decisions. Besides these, wage, education, and health also affect the willingness of migrant workers to settle in a given area. Therefore, to promote urbanization, policy-makers should pay attention to the subjective demands of rural-urban migrants. We suggested that decision- and policy-makers help such migrants improve their social networks and eliminate identity discrimination, so as to encourage their willingness to settle in cities.(AU)

Com base nos dados do Laboratório de Dinâmica da Força de Trabalho da China (CLDS) de 2012 e 2014, este artigo usa o modelo de escolha binária do painel para examinar os determinantes das intenções de assentamento de migrantes rurais-urbanos. Os resultados mostram que tanto o senso de pertencimento, quanto a identidade social, desempenham papéis importantes na determinação das decisões de assentamentos de migrantes rurais-urbanos. Além destes, salário, educação e saúde também afetam a disposição dos trabalhadores migrantes de se estabelecerem em uma determinada área. Portanto, a fim de promover a urbanização, os formuladores de políticas devem prestar atenção às demandas subjetivas dos migrantes rurais-urbanos. Sugerimos que autoridades e formuladores de políticas públicas ajudem esses migrantes a melhorar sua rede social e a eliminar a discriminação de identidade, de modo a incentivar sua disposição de se estabelecer nas cidades.(AU)
