This study examined the relationship between pupils’ involvement in school-initiated absenteeism interventions and their academic achievement in Araling Panlipunan in Kadingilan II District, Bukidnon (SY 2019–2020). A descriptive-correlational design was employed involving 101 Grade 4 pupils identified as at risk of dropping out. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire (CVI = 0.89; Cronbach’s α = 0.91) and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson product–moment correlation. Respondents were predominantly male (65.3%), aged 10–11 years (61.4%), from low-income households (85.1% earning ₱1,000–₱10,999), with parents largely self-employed (92.1%) and with elementary education (80.2%). Pupils reported high involvement in interventions: close-door counseling (M = 4.06), home visits (M = 3.80), CFSS (M = 3.74), and school feeding (M = 4.03), while dormitory involvement was low (M = 1.47). Academic achievement was generally low, with 63% fairly satisfactory (75–79) and 36% satisfactory (80–84). No significant differences were observed across most demographic variables (p > .05), except for dormitory involvement by gender and income (p < .05). Correlation analysis showed no significant relationship between intervention involvement and academic achievement (r = -0.186 to 0.149, p > .05). Findings indicate that while interventions enhance participation, they do not directly predict academic outcomes.
This study explores the teacher–student relationship and students’ sense of school belonging help prevent school dropout in Moroccan secondary schools. School dropout remains an issue with academic and social consequences. The study involved 480 students from educational settings. Data were collected through validated questionnaires. The results show that positive relationships with teachers strengthen students’ sense of belonging to their school. This stronger attachment reduces the risk of leaving school early. Mediation analysis confirms that school belonging explains part of the positive effect of teacher support on dropout prevention. However, the teacher–student relationship also has a direct influence. This suggests that other factors, such as motivation, self-confidence, and classroom engagement, play an important role. The findings emphasize the need to create supportive and inclusive school environments. They also encourage teacher training in relational skills, mentoring, and personalized guidance to improve student engagement and reduce dropout in Moroccan secondary education.
این پژوهش به بررسی نقش رابطه معلم–دانش‌آموز و احساس تعلق دانش‌آموزان به مدرسه در پیشگیری از ترک تحصیل در مدارس متوسطه مراکش می‌پردازد. ترک تحصیل همچنان مسئله‌ای با پیامدهای تحصیلی و اجتماعی است. نمونه پژوهش شامل ۴۸۰ دانش‌آموز از محیط‌های آموزشی بود. داده‌ها از طریق پرسشنامه‌های اعتبارسنجی‌شده گردآوری شد. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که روابط مثبت با معلمان، احساس تعلق دانش‌آموزان به مدرسه را تقویت می‌کند. این دلبستگی قوی‌تر، خطر ترک زودهنگام مدرسه را کاهش می‌دهد. تحلیل میانجی‌گری تأیید می‌کند که احساس تعلق به مدرسه بخشی از اثر مثبت حمایت معلم بر پیشگیری از ترک تحصیل را تبیین می‌کند. با این حال، رابطه معلم–دانش‌آموز نیز تأثیر مستقیمی دارد. این امر نشان می‌دهد که عوامل دیگری مانند انگیزش، اعتماد به نفس و مشارکت در کلاس نیز نقش مهمی ایفا می‌کنند. یافته‌ها بر ضرورت ایجاد محیط‌های مدرسه حمایتی و فراگیر تأکید دارند و همچنین آموزش مهارت‌های ارتباطی، راهنمایی و هدایت فردی معلمان را برای بهبود مشارکت دانش‌آموزان و کاهش ترک تحصیل در آموزش متوسطه مراکش توصیه می‌کنند.
