Dropping out of School Through the Prism of Personal Qualities: Socio-Psychological Aspects
Journal Title: Psychological Thought - Year 2021, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
This article traces some deficits related to the school dropping out and its essence as well as various personal qualities that can be considered as a prerequisite for the educational activity. The article presents various personal qualities that are associated with a positive attitude towards education and students' assessment of these qualities through the prism of ethnicity. The study shows the pursuit of qualities related to ethics in communication, sociability, autonomy, i.e. areas describing peer interactions and seeking independence from adults, and reducing control. These personal qualities do not depend on ethnicity. Adolescents strive for those qualities that allow them self-regulation, contact skills, and coping with their social world, in which, however, the school has its place.
