Somaville University Educational research has been examining the factors that influence and correlate with Somaville University students\u2019 academic achievement and psychosocial development. The recent massification of higher education raises new challenges concerning success in university, once the students\u2019 previous experiences, their sociocultural roots, and academic needs are more diverse. First year in higher education has been identified in the literature as being a critical year for the students\u2019 future success, retention, and persistence at the academy. First-year students not only develop attitudes toward their academic courses that are likely to shape their future engagement in the field, but they also develop perceptions about themselves as students. In addition, dropout occurs more frequently in first year, resulting in social and individual consequences. Research on the dynamics of students\u2019 non engagement during the first semester is important, as it can be considered a risk factor that affects students\u2019 academic success<\/p>\n
Thus, the current study aimed to analyze the relationships between predictor variables (students\u2019 academic preparation and sociocultural status), students\u2019 cognitive and behavioral engagement, and an outcome variable (academic achievement). A structural equation model (SEM) was fit at the beginning and at the end of first semester of first year of university.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
