Abstract

<p>　 Against the background of the diversification of university and college students brought about by the universalization of higher education, this study aims to clarify the actual situation and to identify the mechanism that generates decisions to drop out of college or repeat a grade, including points that need to be considered when trying to reduce the incidence of such actions. The primary methodology is an analysis of questionnaires collected from 2,223 departments of 678 universities and colleges in Japan.</p><p>　 The three confirmed findings are as set out below.</p><p>　 Firstly, the authors identify factors that affect student enrollment patterns, as reflected in the results of an analysis that uses typology derived from the actual situation of both college dropouts and those who have repeated a grade.</p><p>　 Secondly, using the results of a decision-tree analysis, the authors identify a need for universities and colleges to take departmental contexts such as the freshman dropout rate, choice of majors, and the selectivity function of entrance examinations into consideration when they manage student enrollment.</p><p>　 Finally, by means of a discussion on the intervention effect of the learning support delivered by universities and colleges, the authors undertake a critical examination of the advantages and limitations of the use of cross-sectional data in research on the outcomes of college education.</p>
