• In search of the feeling of ‘belonging’ in higher education: undergraduate students transition into higher education (2018, background): “Willcoxson, Cotter, and Joy (2011) in their Australian six-university study concluded that students who do not complete their studies withdraw for different reasons, with the majority of students leaving in the first year and fewer students leaving in the second and third year of their degrees.”
• First-year university students’ academic success: the importance of academic adjustment (2018, background): “Still, there is some evidence that self-efficacy could affect persistence, because Willcoxson et al. (2011) found that the opposite of academic self-efficacy, lack of academic confidence, caused students to give up their studies.”
