High school dropouts: Interactions between social context, self‐perceptions, school engagement, and student dropout⋆
Open accessAbstract
Research suggests that contextual, self‐system, and school engagement variables influence dropping out from school. However, it is not clear how different types of contextual and self‐system variables interact to affect students’ engagement or contribute to decisions to dropout from high school. The self‐system model of motivational development represents a promising theory for understanding this complex phenomenon. The self‐system model acknowledges the interactive and iterative roles of social context, self‐perceptions, school engagement, and academic achievement as antecedents to the decision to dropout of school. We analyzed data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002–2004 in the context of the self‐system model, finding that perception of social context (teacher support and parent support) predicts students’ self‐perceptions (perception of control and identification with school), which in turn predict students’ academic and behavioral engagement, and academic achievement. Further, students’ academic and behavioral engagement and achievement in 10th grade were associated with decreased likelihood of dropping out of school in 12th grade.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
