Abstract: This paper deals with the subject
connected to dropout, a very topical issue, given
the high rate of school dropouts in our country.
To intervene effectively we must know the causes
that can lead to dropping out of school.The early
school leaving is a potential lost. It has social
costs (social disruption, higher demand in health
system and lower social cohesion) and economic
costs (lower productivity, lower tax revenues and
increased social benefits). Each case of dropout
has a "history" of its own that requires a complex
analysis, a psychogenic interpretation, dynamic
and functional individual purposes of each subject
in this situation.
1. Introduction
In the specialized literature dropout
signifies the renunciation of school education
due to various reasons, among which the most
important are causes of material; sometimes,
the waiver is determined by the fact that the
student cannot cope with the tasks of the
curriculum, or he is not appropriate refocused
to schools appropriate to its possibilities and
sometimes he suffers negative influences
(damaging friendships diverge its interests
from school) or free educational assistance.
[1]
The dropout is a dangerous
phenomenon because it causes negative
effects both in individual psychological area,
or alternates the student self-image in
question, who will lose more and more

negative att n plan psihologic individual,
respectiv o alterare a imaginii de sine a
elevului n cauz, care i va pierde tot mai
mult ncrederea n propriile posibiliti i
capaciti, ajungnd s dezvolte o team de
eec, ct i pe plan social, pentru c eecul
colar permanentizat stigmatizeaz,
eticheteaz i conduce la o marginalizare
social cu un nivel crescut de comportamente
deviante i infracionale. Abandonul colar
are la baz mai muli factori care pot fi
diferii, dar cel mai adesea asociai. Elevul se
confrunt cu o serie de dificulti colare care
au ca principale cauze: propria persoan,
prinii i familia, coala, comunitatea local
.a.
Exist cteva concepte care sunt
corelate i a cror semnificaie se
ntreptrunde, oferindu-ne o imagine asupra
fenomenului de devian colar. Acestea
sunt: comportamentul deviant, delincventa
juvenil, deviana n coal i deviana
colar, iar relaia dintre ele poate fi redat n
diagrama fig. 1 [2].
Abandonul colar se caracterizeaz
prin prsirea prematur a colii. n plan
social, de multe ori abandonul se asociaz cu
delincvena juvenil, cu recurgerea la
droguri, cu viaa de familie dezorganizat.
Abandonul poate fi caracterizat prin
absenteism total sau parial. Cel parial are
cauze diferite n funcie de zon, rural sau
urban. Abandonul n zona urban poate fi
cauzat de influena cercului de prieteni
asupra copilului, de atraciile pe care oraul
le exercit asupra acestuia. Cel rural este
determinat de condiiile satului, de ajutorul
pe care copiii trebuie s i dea prinilor n
muncile agricole.
Jigu precizeaz c noiunea de eec
colar poate varia de la o ar la alta, de la o
coal la alta, de la un sistem de nvmnt
la altul[3]. Sensurile cele mai uzuale pe care
le folosete sunt urmtoarele:
abandonarea precoce a colii;
decalajul ntre potenialul
personal i rezultate;
prsirea colii fr o calificare;

confidence in their capabilities and capacities
to develop a fear of reaching failure and
socially, for school failure made permanent
"stigma", "label" and leads to social exclusion
with increased levels of deviant and criminal
behavior. The dropout based on several
factors may vary, but most of them are
sometimes associated. The student faces a
number of challenges that school main
causes: themselves, their parents and family,
school, local community, etc.
There are several concepts that are
interrelated and whose meaning is
interwoven, giving us an insight into the
phenomenon of school deviance. These are:
deviant behavior, juvenile delinquency,
scholar deviance and deviance in school
curriculum, and the relationship between
them can be depicted in the diagram fig. 1 [2]:
Early school leaving is characterized
by premature leaving the school. In social
plan, often we associate it with early juvenile,
with drug use, disorganized family life. The
abandonment can be characterized by total or
partial absenteeism. The part has different
causes depending on the area, rural or urban.
The abandonment in urban areas may be due
to the influence of the circle of friends of the
child, the attractions that the city exerts on it.
The area is influenced by the village, the help
that children need to give parents in farm
work. Jigau states that the concept of school
failure may vary from one country to another,
from one school to another, from one school
system to another [3]. The meanings that the
most common uses are:
early school abandonment;
gap between personal potential and
results;
leaving school without a
qualification;
Individual learning difficulties;
repetition;
illiteracy;
inability to achieve pedagogical
objectives;
failure to finals.

Dup cum putem observa, rata
abandonului n anul colar 2009-2010 este n
cretere fa de cea din anul colar precedent.
Situaia nu este deloc favorabil, deoarece s-a
considerat c pierderile economice i sociale
au fost cu mult mai ridicate n cazul unui
abandon la nivelul nvmntului primar i
gimnazial, dect n cazul nvmntului
liceal. ncepnd cu anul colar 2006-2007 a
avut loc o cretere considerabil a ponderii
abandonului colar la nivelul nvmntului
profesional.
Copiii care triesc n familii srace au
anse mai mici de a-i nusi o educaie

cu abandonul colar este evaluat prin
variabile de genul:
a) gradul de instruire i educaia
prinilor;
b) profesia tatlui;
c) venitul familiei i nivelul de via al
acesteia
2.2 Factori individuali
Acetia se refer la capacitatea personal
a elevului de a reaciona, adic de resursele
personale, de bogia i calitatea ,,schemelor
de adaptare'' ce se refer la faptul c unii
dintre elevi au un potenial mai mare de
adaptare, iar alii unul mai redus (sunt mai
rigizi, mai puin permisivi n relaiile cu
ceilali). Un rol important este reprezentat i
de prezena mamei n viaa copilului. n
condiiile n care copilul a trit ntr-un mediu
familial n care prezena mamei era cotidian,
dezvoltarea copilului a decurs normal. n caz
contrar, acesta poate prezenta anumite
tulburri psihice, cum ar fi hiperemotivitate,
fobii, anxietate etc. Poate aprea
hospitalismul (nervozitatea excesiv sau
apatia, indiferena, poate ajunge chiar la
retardare mintal, dac elevul triete n stare
de izolare prelungit).
Annals of the Constantin Brncui University of Trgu Jiu, Education Sciences Series, Issue 2/2013
school vocational education. Children living
in poor families were less likely to complete
school education itself. Economic status
correlated with school dropout is measured by
variables such as:
Training and education level of
parents;
Fathers profession;
Family income and their living
standard.
2.2 Individual factors
They refer to the students personal
ability to react, meaning that the personal
resources of wealth and the quality of
adaptation schemes that means that some
students have a greater potential for
adaptation, others a lower (are more rigid, less
permissive in relationships with others). An
important role is represented by the presence
of the mother in the childs life. When the
child has lived in a family where the mother
was present every day, the child development
went normal. Otherwise, he may have some
mental disorders, such as hiperemotiability,
phobias, anxiety etc. It may appear
hospitalism (excessive nervousness and
apathy, indifference, may even reach mental
retardation if the student lives in a state of
prolonged isolation).
Childs mental peculiarities can
negatively influence his academic
performance. Labels as weak student, bad
student lowers the self-esteem reduce
confidence in their own forces and the people
surrounding it. Under these conditions, the
lack of resources to overcome this difficulty,
these children seek to stand out, often through
deviant behavior. Unwillingness (or limited
availability), low aspirations, interests of
motivation, insufficient development of
cognitive ability to work and others may have
an acute negative effect on the students
academic work, the results of his work. Also,
the students health status can influence the
success or failure / failure of his school.
2.3 The family
Family is the first and most important
life contexts, with a special role in the
153
Analele Universitii Constantin Brncui din Trgu Jiu, Seria tiine ale Educaiei, Nr. 2/2013
Particularitile psihice ale copilului pot
influena i negativ randamentul su colar.
Etichetrile ca elev slab, elev ru duc la
scderea stimei de sine, la scderea ncrederii
n propriile fore, ct i n persoanele ce l
nconjoar. n aceste condiii, din cauza lipsei
resurselor necesare pentru a depi aceast
dificultate, aceti copii caut s ias n
eviden, adeseori, prin comportamente
deviante. Lipsa voinei (sau disponibilitatea
redus), nivelul sczut al aspiraiilor, al
intereselor, al motivaiei, insuficienta
dezvoltare a capacitii de a opera cognitiv i
altele pot avea un acut efect negativ asupra
activitii colare a elevului, asupra
rezultatelor muncii sale. De asemenea, starea
de sntate a elevului poate influena
succesul sau insuccesul/eecul colar al
acestuia.
2.3. Mediul familial
Familia reprezint cel dinti i cel mai
important context de via, cu un rol deosebit
n socializarea copilului. Familia i ofer
copilului un sentiment de siguran, singurul
care i permite acestuia s se emancipeze i
s-i dobndeasc personalitatea. ns, acest
sentiment depinde de anumii factori:
protecia mpotriva agresiunilor venite din
afar, satisfacerea trebuinelor elementare,
coerena i stabilitatea mediului de
dezvoltare, sentimentul de a fi acceptat ca
membru al familiei, de a fi iubit, de a i se
accepta caracteristicile individuale i de a
dobndi o experien personal. Lipsa
interesului pentru activitile colare ale
copilului sau, din contr, preocuparea
exgerat poate duce la nereuita colar a
copilului. Un rol foarte important n
dezvoltarea copilului l reprezint tipul de
familie din care acesta provine:
familii cu muli copii, care nu-i pot
permite s i trimit la coal din
cauza lipsei resurselor materiale;
copiii sunt pui s munceasc,
reprezentnd o surs de venit, mai
ales n mediul rural unde copii sunt
pui la munci agricole;
familii monoparentale care nu pot

socialization of children. Family gives to the
child a sense of security, which alone enables
him to emancipate and to gain personality.
However, this sense depends on several
factors: protection against aggression from
outside, meet basic necessities, consistency
and stability development environment, the
feeling of being accepted as a member of the
family, to be loved, you are accepting
individual characteristics and gain a personal
experience. Lack of interest in school
activities of the child or, conversely,
exaggerated concern can lead to school failure
child. An important role in child development
is represented by the type of family he comes:
families with children who cannot
afford to send them to school because of lack
of funds; children are put to work and to gain
a source of income, especially in rural areas
where children are put at farming;
single parents who cannot pay
attention due to raising children, especially
since the number of working women is
increasing;
families in which one or both parents
had emigrated. Statistics show that more and
more people opted to go abroad (especially
those in rural areas) due to very low living
standards;
ysfunctional families of alcoholics,
victims of domestic violence, narcotics
addicts etc.
Also a certain disinterest shown by
parents regarding education, conceptions of it,
and their low level of education have a
negative impact on student enrollment. Thus,
the chances that in rural areas, the number of
children that want to continue their education
to be increased are minimal.
2.4. The school
There are some of the factors from
educational space that can influence school
dropout:
Insufficient knowledge of students,
due to the number of a class or because of
lack of interest shown by teachers;
the age and failure of individual
students (teachers in psycho-pedagogical
154
Analele Universitii Constantin Brncui din Trgu Jiu, Seria tiine ale Educaiei, Nr. 2/2013
acorda atenia cuvenit creterii
copilului, mai ales c numrul
femeilor care muncesc este n
cretere;
familii din care unul sau ambii prini
au emigrat. Statisticile arat c din ce
n ce mai multe persoane opteaz
pentru a pleca n strintate (mai ales
persoanele din mediul rural) din
cauza nivelului de trai foarte sczut;
familii dezorganizate, cu prini
alcoolici, victime ale violenei
domestice, dependeni de substane
stupefiante etc.
De asemenea, dezinteresul manifestat
de ctre prini n ceea ce privete educaia,
concepiile despre aceasta, dar i nivelul
sczut de instrucie al acestora au un impact
negativ asupra colarizrii elevului. Astfel,
ansele ca, n mediul rural, numrul de copii
care s i continue studiile s fie cresctor
sunt minime.
2.4. Mediul colar
Enumerm o parte dintre factorii, din
spaiul educativ, ce poate influena
abandonul colar:
cunoaterea insuficient a elevilor,
datorit numrului mare dintr-o clas
sau din cauza dezinteresului
manifestat de ctre profesori;
nerespectarea particularitilor de
vrst i individuale ale elevilor
(profesorii prin modulul
psihopedagogic trebuie s cunoasc
personalitatea elevului pentru a
adapta metodele de predare-nvare
la fiecare elev);
lipsa de preocupare a unor cadre
didactice pentru stimularea interesului
fa de nvtur (n special n a positive social identity. In these

Annals of the Constantin Brncui University of Trgu Jiu, Education Sciences Series, Issue 2/2013
module the student should know the
personality to adapt teaching methods to each
student learning);
lack of concern for some teachers to
stimulate interest in teaching (especially in
rural areas where teachers are interested in
learning process because salaries are not as
expected, but there are exceptions!)
Insufficient training and psycho-
pedagogy of teachers;
lack of professionalism exhibited by
severity teacher (can induce a state of fear,
anxiety student) or its permissiveness;
lack of material facilities in
educational institutions, lack of schools in
rural areas, which forces most of the students
go through a daily long walk to school;
lack of qualified teachers in rural
areas.
2.5. Social context
At this point of the analysis we
consider the lack of state investment in
education. An important negative influence
on the perception of education is represented
by media promoting of those people who did
not attended school, who have succeeded in
life by chance and equipping other parts of
nature. For children, they may be models,
endorsing the idea that the school does not
offer the same prospect. Often, those from
rural areas are stigmatized in relation to area
of origin. National programs are designed to
support education in rural areas, but few are
implemented.
2.6. Factors (causes) of
psychological order
Labelling as poor student
deprivation status and reduce self-esteem of
students and undermine their attempt to build
circumstances, students who do not have the
resources to mobilize to overcome
difficulties, seek to satisfy their need for
personal valorization outside school, possibly
abandoned. Labeling as failed or deviant
leads students to adopt deviant roles precisely
in response to deprivation status. In schools
there are classes to keep subrealizai students
155
Analele Universitii Constantin Brncui din Trgu Jiu, Seria tiine ale Educaiei, Nr. 2/2013
lipsa de profesionalism, manifestat
fie prin severitatea profesorului
(poate induce starea de team,
anxietate a elevului), fie prin
permisivitatea acestuia;
lipsa dotrilor materiale n instituiile
de nvmnt, lipsa colilor la sate,
care i oblig pe cei mai muli dintre
elevi s parcurg zilnic un drum lung
pn la coal;
lipsa profesorilor calificai n mediul
rural
2.5. Contextul social
La acest punct din analiz avem n
vedere lipsa investiiilor statului n domeniul
educaiei. O important influen negativ
asupra percepiei educaiei o reprezint mass-
media, prin promovarea din ce n ce mai
larg a celor necolarizai, care au reuit n
via prin noroc i pri alte nzestrri de la
natur. Pentru copii, acetia pot reprezenta
modele, aprobnd ideea c coala nu ofer
aceleai perspective. Adeseori, cei care
provin din mediul rural sunt stigmatizai n
legtur cu mediul lor de provenien. La
nivel naional sunt elaborate programe care
s susin educaia n mediul rural, ns
puine sunt puse n aplicare.
2.6. Factori (cauze) de ordin psihologic
Etichetarea ca ,,elev slab i
deprivarea de status reduc stima de sine a
elevilor i submineaz ncercarea lor de a-i
construi o identitate social pozitiv. n
aceste condiii, elevii care nu au resursele
necesare pentru a se mobiliza, n vederea
depirii dificultilor, vor cuta s-i
satisfac nevoia de valorizare personal n
afara colii, eventual prin abandon.
Etichetarea ca ratat sau deviant
determin elevii s adopte roluri deviante
tocmai ca rspuns la deprivarea de status. n
colile n care exist clase pentru meninerea
n coal a elevilor subrealizai colar,
calitatea de membru al unei asemenea clase
poate conduce la abandonul colar.
(discuia/analiza poate continua pe o paralel
ce are la baz conceptul de
hipercorectitudine)
Annals of the Constantin Brncui University of Trgu Jiu, Education Sciences Series, Issue 2/2013
in school as school membership of such
classes can lead to dropping out of school.
(discussion / analysis can proceed on a
parallel that is based on the concept of
hypercorrectness).
2.7. Socio-cultural causes
Child is merely the product of his own
family and socio-cultural context in which it
is formed and manifested. When we
encounter failures at these levels, the effects
become visible, especially in personality and
of the child behavior. Berge shows that a
child is often problematic: ... a child
miserable among people who are themselves
unhappy. It is false note in a concert, which
shows that the instruments were granted
without the public knowing very well which
one to blame. [4]
This category includes indicators of
power and social status which are relate
primarily to ethnicity, social class affiliation,
membership in guy communities rural / urban
etc. [5]. A special place is the family, the
major role that it plays in the life of every
child and its influences.
Conclusions
It seems that early school tends not to
be stopped, on the contrary! Are facts which
show that the phenomenon is even more
increased compared with official data. There
is an important part of children attending
classes only symbolically, speculating a
decision stipulating that are prohibited in
classes I-VIII expulsion or possible loss
allowance even more than 40 absences per
month. School failure is not a new problem.
Over time many studies have been conducted
to identify and prevent it. As time passes and
new factors contribute to this negative
phenomenon among students, changing
educational vision informative and
educational, equal opportunity in education,
psycho support offered in schools were of
utmost necessity. It requires involvement of
all factors contributing to stopping school
education for early school leaving! School
failure is a dangerous phenomenon because it
causes negative effects both in individual

2.7. Cauze de ordin socio-cultural
Copilul nu reprezint dect produsul
propriei familii i al contextului socio-
cultural n care el se formeaz i se
manifest. Cnd ntlnim disfuncii la aceste
niveluri, efectele devin vizibile, mai ales n
personalitatea i comportamentul copilului.
Berge arat c un copil cu probleme este
adesea: un copil nefericit printre oameni
care sunt ei nii nefericii. El constituie nota
fals care, ntr-un concert, arat c
instrumentele nu au fost acordate, fr ca
publicul s tie prea bine pe care dintre ele s
dea vina.[4]
n aceast categorie se includ
indicatorii de putere i de status social care
fac referire, n principal, la apartenena
etnic, la apartenena la clasa social, la
apartenena la comunitile de tip rural/urban
etc.[5]. Un loc aparte revine familiei, prin
rolul major pe care-l joac n viaa fiecrui
copil i prin influenele sale.
Concluzii
Se pare c abandonul colar nu are
tendine de a fi stopat, dimpotriv! Sunt
realiti care arat c fenomenul crete i este
chiar mai mare comparativ cu datele oficiale.
Exist un segment important de copii care
frecventeaz doar simbolic cursurile,
speculnd o hotrre care stipuleaz c sunt
interzise exmatricularea la clasele I-VIII sau
posibilitatea de a pierde alocaia, chiar i la
peste 40 de absene lunar.
Eecul colar nu este o problem
nou. De-a lungul timpului au fost realizate
multiple cercetri pentru identificarea i
prevenirea eecului colar. Odat cu trecerea
timpului i apariia unor noi factori ce
contribuie la acest fenomen negativ n rndul
elevilor, schimbarea viziunii educativ
informative i formative, egalitatea de anse
privind educaia, suportul psihopedagog
oferit n coli au fost de maxim necesitate.
Este nevoie de o implicare a tuturor factorilor
ce contribuie la educaia colar pentru
stoparea fenomenului de abandon colar!
