Abstract:

the WISE project promotes and encourages well-being in student life within the European Higher Education field. This project aims to identify what is important for the well-being of students and how universities and student organizations can act within student life policies in favor of student well-being. For the next 3 years of the project, the consortium will:

Develop expertise to understand better what’s a stake for student well-being within student life: quantitative and qualitative research and reports.

Develop resources and training to help HEI and student organizations to take in account and act for well-being in student life (vademecum, toolkits, training).

Develop proposals and communications to promote student well-being and student life as essential components in Europe.

6 partners are involved in this project: Animafac (a student association network in France), the European University Foundation (EUF), the European Students Union (ESU, a student union network, based in Belgium) and 4 European universities which are the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra in Portugal, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece, the Transilvania University of Brasov in Romania, and the Charles University of Prague in Czech Republic.

Who succeeds at university? Cognitive and non-cognitive factors predicting (mal)adjustment and dropout risk in first year university students Call name: P 1 - SP 1.1 - Proiecte de cercetare pentru stimularea tinerelor echipe independente - TE-2021

Abstract:

The domains in which the project fit are SH4-6 Learning, memory; cognition in aging and SH3-11 Social aspects of learning, curriculum studies, educational policies. Attending university is a challenging experience for students leading to higher rates of underachievement. First year is the most critical for college adaptation. The research aims to propose: an explanatory model of academic (mal)adjustment, integrating demographic, personality, motivation and learning dimensions; a set of indicators of academic success and adjustment which could be assessed through psychoeducational measures; validation of an instrument for identifying typologies of students at risk of dropping out. A repeated measure design will be implemented: beginning of the first year & end of the first semester (T1), end of the second semester of the first academic year (T2), end of first semester of the second academic year (T3), end of second study year (T4) and beginning of third year (T5). The participants will be first year students. The results will offer a complex analysis of the academic (mal)adjustment. The analysis of factors predicting adjustment will lead to the identification of several patterns of adjustment associated with success indicators such as time to degree, retention and drop-out and completion rates. Given the high rates of drop-out from university during the first academic year, promoting national policies and practices starting from validated results would be beneficial.

Abstract:

The main objective of this project is to prevent the university dropout of first year students (the undergraduate cycle) with high risk of dropout and to increase their level of academic adaptation by providing socio-educational services tailored to the specific needs of students from the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences.

The target group consists of 140 students enrolled in the first year in the study programmes of the undergraduate cycle: Psychology, Pedagogy of Primary and Preschool Education, Special Psychopedagogy.

The students from the target group benefit from the socio-educational services developed within the project: sessions and training courses for developing learning skills and socio-emotional skills, participation in mentoring and tutoring sessions, activities for developing professional skills, informative sessions, guidance and career counselling, etc. After the implementation of these activities, there will be changes such as the increase of the level of involvement in professional and academic activities, the optimization of the motivation level, the increase of academic performance and the graduation of the first year, the development of personal, learning, socio-emotional and communication skills, generating a better social and academic adjustment.

The project team consists of teachers from the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences. The financial resources are those allocated by the project and the material / logistical ones are financed by the project (laptops, copy machines, video projectors, etc.) or provided by the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences (classrooms, laboratories, computers, etc.).

Through the proposed activities, the project aims to develop an institutionalized framework and student-centred socio-educational services that lead to a good academic and socio-professional integration of students at high risk of dropping out.
