Undergraduate Dropout Intentions in Turkey: A Systematic Review of Factors and Implications

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find and analyze the sources about student dropout in higher education in Turkey using the systematic review method. According to the research questions, sixteen sources (nine papers and seven theses in the year 2012 and after) conducted in Turkey are taken into consideration and make a content analysis defined under the PRISMA 2020 Method. The qualitative and quantitative methods were used to examine the problems more deeply and to indicate the factors behind the problems. The sample was composed of people still in the university, people who dropped out of the university, instructors, and administrators. The factors behind dropout are taken in two processes as pre-university (personal factors, the effects of guidance to choose a department, family factors, educational system-related factors, the level of vocational maturity factors, and the factors of the location city of the university) and university (social adaptation, academic factors, and organizational factors). In this study, the causes and consequences of school dropouts, and solutions to prevent or reduce dropouts were discussed.
