La prédiction du décrochage scolaire d’élèves du secondaire à partir de leurs perceptions de facteurs du milieu familial et du climat de classe

This predictive correlational study focuses on the contribution of students’ perceptions of parenting style, parental involvement in school monitoring, and the classroom’s environment on the risk of dropping out of school. The perceptions of junior high school students (n=92) living in a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhood were collected through surveys. Hierarchical regression analyses show that their perceptions of parental guidance and involvement, parent-adolescent interactions, and classroom environment predicted the risk of dropping out of school. The results also suggest that students’ perceptions of parent-adolescent interactions and classroom environment jointly contribute to predicting the risk of dropping out of school.
