El rechazo escolar es el término que alude a la negativa de un estudiante a asistir a la escuela o la dificultad persistente para permanecer en la misma (Kearney, 2016). Este concepto se engloba dentro de los problemas de asistencia escolar siendo este último el constructo empleado en los últimos años para referirse al conjunto de los distintos tipos de ausencias escolares o dificultades para asistir o permanecer en la escuela (Coehlo, 2016). Ejemplos de tales ausencias incluyen retrasos a la hora de acceder a la escuela, faltas esporádicas, continuas o reiteradas a lo largo del curso escolar. Es vital conocer la relación existente entre esta dificultad y las variables que pueden afectar a esta conducta con el objetivo de ofrecer programas de prenvención e intervención para el alumnado que presenta este fenómeno escolar. La importancia de una detección temprana en niños, es prioritaria para prevenir esta conducta durante la etapa de la adolescencia. Por ello, se realizaron cuatro estudios que forman parte de esta tesis doctoral presentada por compendio de publicaciones. En el primer trabajo, se presenta un análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica acerca de los problemas de asistencia a la escuela. Para ello, se realizó un análisis de la literatura científica a partir de 192 estudios publicados durante el período temporal de 2014 a 2019. Estos respondieron a la estrategia de búsqueda de "school refusal" or "truancy" or "school phobia" aplicada en tres bases de datos: Web of Science, Scopus y Eric. La contribución 2 analiza la relación entre el rechazo escolar y las atribuciones académicas en el área de Lengua y Literatura. Para ello, se identificaron perfiles de rechazo escolar en niños (Perfil 1. Bajo rechazo escolar; Perfil 2. Rechazo escolar por reforzamiento positivo; Perfil 3. Rechazo escolar mixto; y Perfil 4. Alto rechazo escolar mixto) y se analizaron las diferencias de estos perfiles según sus puntuaciones en los distintos estilos atribucionales de carácter académico en Lengua y Literatura. En este estudio la muestra estuvo compuesta por 926 estudiantes españoles con edades comprendidas entre los 8 y 11 años. Finalmente, en los trabajos 3 y 4, se estudia la relación existente entre el rechazo escolar y las estrategias de aprendizaje. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1261 estudiantes con edades entre los 14 y 18 años. Los instrumentos de evaluación administrados fueron la School Refusal Assessment Scale - Revised (SRAS-R) en el caso de los trabajos 2, 3 y 4, con el principal objetivo de evaluar el comportamiento de rechazo escolar; la Sydney Attribution Scale (SAS) en la contribución 2 para así evaluar las atribuciones de éxitos y fracasos en el área de Lengua y Literatura, y el Inventory of Learning and Study Strategies-High School version (LASSI-HS), en los estudios 3 y 4, para analizar las habilidades requeridas para alcanzar el éxito en el ámbito académico. Los hallazgos reportados a partir de esta tesis doctoral mostraron, por un lado, una imagen representativa de las temáticas más desarrolladas en este campo de la educación y dejaron entrever posibles futuras líneas de investigación (contribución 1). En el caso de la contribución 2, aquel alumnado que pertenece a los perfiles de rechazo escolar alto mixto y rechazo escolar mixto, es decir, aquellos que obtuvieron puntuaciones más altas en los tres primeros perfiles de la SRAS-R, presentaron altas puntuaciones en el estilo atribucional académico que asocia sus fracasos a la falta de capacidad y esfuerzo. Por otro lado, existe una correlación negativa entre el rechazo escolar y las diferentes dimensiones de las estrategias de aprendizaje, excepto para la dimensión de Ansiedad en los tres primeros factores, que ha sido una correlación positiva (contribución 3). Por último, se identificaron cuatro perfiles de rechazo escolar en adolescentes (contribución 4): (1) Perfil de rechazo escolar por reforzamiento positivo; (2) Perfil de bajo rechazo escolar (el cual obtuvo las puntaciones más altas en todas las estrategias de aprendizaje excepto en la dimensión de Ansiedad, Procesamiento de la Información y Ayudas al Estudio); (3) Perfil de rechazo escolar por reforzamiento negativo; y 4) Perfil de rechazo escolar mixto (el cual obtuvo las puntuaciones más bajas para la mayoría de dimensiones excepto para la Ansiedad, Uso de Ayudas al Estudio y Estrategias de Autoevaluación) (contribución 4). De estos hallazgos se extraen implicaciones prácticas para la detección y/o prevención del comportamiento de rechazo escolar, así como para intervencir en los diferentes problemas vinculados.

Since 2006 Further Education and Training (FET) Colleges have been recapitalised through massive government investment in order to improve infrastructure, implement a more relevant curriculum and assist college learners financially to gain access to the different learning programmes. A new curriculum with 11 programmes was introduced and implemented under the National Certificate Vocational (NCV). The results of the 2007 examinations, were disappointing and in general, the national performance of the learners was dismal. Policy requirements for certification and promotion to the next level stipulated that learners need to pass all 7 subjects in a programme. The main aim of the study was to identify variables that are the best predictors of academic success of first year FET students. Thus, if these predictors are considered during the admission process of first year FET students, it could lead to overall improved first year pass rate at FET Colleges and contribute towards the enhancement of human resources and economical development of our country. In order to achieve the research aim and objectives, a literature study and an empirical investigation were conducted. The literature study focussed on cognitive and non-cognitive factors that contribute to academic success of students at colleges. The empirical investigation departed from a positivist paradigm to determine which variables contributed the best towards the prediction of academic success of first year NCV Level 2 students at FET Colleges and a quantitative non-experimental, ex post facto approach was followed .The results of the General Scholastic Aptitude Test (GSAT), the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory – High School version (LASSI-HS), grade mark average and biographical details of the registered first year NCV Level 2 students of the Vuselela FET College (Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp campuses) in 2008 (n=309), were used to determine whether any of these variables significantly predicted the academic success of these students. The investigation revealed that: • None of the LASSI-HS scales were predictors of academic success of the first year NCV Level 2 students; • The GSAT (Total) was a predictor of academic success of these students; • None of the biographical variables, i.e. age or gender, were predictors of academic success; and • Grade mark average on students’ last school reports, was a predictor of academic success. These findings revealed that Grade mark average, and GSAT-(Total) (which is also an indication of intelligence quotient (IQ)) were the best predictors of academic success of first year NCV Level 2 students at the Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp campuses of the Vuselela FET College. / Thesis (MEd (Educational Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.
