Abstract

Since its foundation, post-secondary institutions have demonstrated a concern to the high rates of student departure which have led to a proliferation of studies focused on college students’ interest and retention in the 1970s (ASTIN, 1975; COPE e HANNAH, 1975; LENNING, 1978; TINTO, 1975). Concentrating on the institutions’ role, this study aims at—in a historical perspective—finding out: (i) how have institutions been viewing student interest and attrition and how (and if) they have been acting upon it, and (ii) if student academic failure has been in any way seen as related to it. It was observed that is through programs of academic and student leadership and discussion panels that students are given the opportunity to engage in the college community—learning with and from their peers.
