No full textThe issue of school dropout is increasingly found in research conducted in all European countries. The increased interest for this subject is justified in terms of the European objectives for 2020. If we look closely to school dropout and we define it as the final step of a long process of disengagement, then the attention of researchers should also be directed to the analysis of levels of commitment, student attachment to school and student academic integration. One of the main difficulties encountered in studies addressing this topic is the conceptual definition. In this study we use several scales to measure academic engagement and we identify three dimensions of student’ engagement, based on the conceptualization found in the scientific literature. Using data from HERD research project conducted between 2011 and 2012 in Hungary-Romania cross-border region, this paper shows that there are differences between universities found in this region, and also differences regarding some individual characteristics of students. Our main result refers to the characteristics of students’ groups at the university level and we argue that engagement is a result of a continuous process, closely linked to the choice of academic paths. In the final section of the paper, there are presented the main limitations of the research and directions to be followed in future studies

Get PDFEntering Adulthood. In Search of Specificity of the Post-communist Countries
Get PDFThe subject of analysis in this article is, on the one hand, the category of youth (as a phase of life and as a social group), increasingly discursive and less transparent nowadays, and – on the other hand – some social areas revealing the largest cumulation of young people’s life problems, such as education, entering a labour market and issues related to becoming self-reliant and personal life arrangements. The specific of the post-communist countries is that all of the above presenting a quite different, non-standard face of the youth, which may be excessively prolonged in entering adulthood, more complex (hybrid), more difficult to bear, systemically bereft and politically riskier. The issue analysed in this article is part of a broader diagnosis of the young generation in countries undergoing the political transformation in Eastern Europe and Asia. The empirical base used in this project were existing sources collected in national and international surveys and studies. The paper presents – first – some (psychological, sociological and political) arguments for a broader definition of youth, and then focuses on showing the three main areas requiring support, which are in analyzed countries: education, transition from school to employment and establishing the new independent family life
ICT Use, Cultural and Leisure Lifestyles and Social Structure of Romanian Youth, in Central and Eastern European Context
Get PDFIn this paper we analyse the cultural and leisure lifestyle and internet and computer technology (ICT) use of the Romanian young population according to their position in the social structure, focusing on frequent ICT users and so called “screenagers”. The empirical source are the EUROSTAT statistics between 2008 and 2016 and a random survey (ANSIT) for Romania, from 2008, out the 18-35 age group, with 998 cases. First we characterised the Romanian youth situation in EU and CEE context. We observed a serious social and digital gap between Romania and the most CEE EU member countries in 2008, which was improved partially until 2013-2016. Then, only for Romanian case, we have created four consumer groups by means of factor analysis representing ICT related cultural lifestyles. These groups are the following: ‘screenagers’ who consume culture through computers and the internet, being informed from these sources, communicating with their help, ’clubbing and sport’ lifestyle, ‘high culture’ and ‘home literature readers’. We have also analysed the socio-demographic background of ICT frequent users: high educational level and a residence in a big city predict frequent ICT use for various purposes. Screenager lifestyle is strongly associated with the upper and upper-middle class status, but also other lifestyles are present among middle class youngsters in Romania, while the youth from lower class and deprived are under represented in all lifestyle groups
