In
addition to the learning check testing results performed at each
lectures, we have extended the factors to find the key dropping
out factors. Among them are, the number of successes in the learning
check testing, the number of attendances to the follow-up program
classes, and etc.
Then, we have found key factors strongly related to the students
at risk.
They are the following.
1) Badly failed students (score range is 0-39 in the final examination)
tend to be absent for the regular classes and fail in the learning
check testing even if they attended, and they are very reluctant
to attend the follow-up program classes. 2) Successful students (score
range is 60-100 in the final examination) attend classes and get
good scores in every learning check testing. 3) Failed students but
not so badly (score range is 40-59 in the final examination) reveal
both sides of features appeared in score range of 0-39 and score
range of 60-100. Therefore, it is crucial to attend the lectures
in order not to drop out. |
