  • The role of peer mentoring program elements in promoting academic success and preventing student dropout in higher education: a systematic literature review
    Publication . Pereira Guerreiro, Mariana; Neves de Jesus, Saúl
    Peer mentoring programs have been implemented to address higher education institutions' demands for promoting academic success and preventing student dropout. However, it is still unclear what elements best contribute to their effectiveness. A systematic literature review on the peer mentoring programs' elements focused on promoting academic success and preventing dropout was conducted to understand better how to improve peer mentoring effectiveness in academia. Twenty-three studies were included and evaluated for quality. A thematic analysis was developed to report patterns in the elements of the included peer mentoring programs. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of formal peer mentoring programs where participation is voluntary, no financial incentives are provided, and faculty members are involved. Future research must ensure a more detailed description of the peer mentoring programs' elements and robust methodology quality. It is necessary to evaluate the mentoring program's effectiveness by considering mentor screening based on academic performance, matching characteristics, mentoring models, and program coordination feedback, in addition to analysing mentor training efficacy.

  • The mediating effects of approaches to learning on the academic success of first-year college students
    Publication . Valadas, Sandra T.; Almeida, Leandro S.; Araújo, Alexandra M.
    Students’ personal predictors of academic success are particularly relevant for first-year college students, given the specific challenges that these students face when entering higher education (HE). Academic success in HE has been related to multiple factors, including the students’ approaches to learning (SAL), satisfaction (linked to commitment and persistence), study time (effort), and prior academic achievement. This study analyzes the combined effect of these predictors on perceived academic success. Data from 247 students was collected using the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students and other specific measures to assess presage and process variables of academic success. Although academic success is multidimensional and difficult to explain, factors such as prior academic achievement, satisfaction with the course, SAL, and study time contribute to explain perceived academic success in first-year college students.

  • University success of graduates with disabilities in Portugal: analysis of personal factors and resilience
    Publication . Fernández, Almudena Cotán; Martins, Maria Helena; Alexandre Borges Santos Terremoto, Maria Leonor; Díez, Anabel Moriña
    This paper aims to explore, from an ecological approach, the perception of the concept of academic success and the personal factors that contribute to the university success of graduates with disabilities. This paper focuses on the personal factors of academic success based on the experiences and perspectives of graduates with disabilities. The study adopted a phenomenological approach using semi-structured interviews. The data were collected at a Portuguese University in southern Portugal and analysed using an ad hoc inductive and qualitative coding system. The results reveal the diversity of perceptions about academic success and the importance of resilience, autonomy, and self-determination. These data contrast the conventional notion of success focused exclusively on academic performance and highlight to recognise the diverse contributions of these students to the university environment. Regarding personal factors, resilience is a recurring factor among participants. Adapting and persevering in the face of challenges was essential for success, alongside autonomy, self-efficacy, and self-determination.
