abstract = {The abandonment of university studies is a problem that affects the balance
and correct organization of university systems throughout the world and that
has undesirable personal consequences in advanced societies. Dropping out of
school has a multidimensional explanation. Among the causes, associated with
each other, that originate it, the following factors stand out: psychological, social,
economic, psycho-pedagogical, institutional, and didactic. Studying how all
these dimensions act and relate to each other in specific cases of people who
drop out of Higher Education, helps us to better understand the phenomenon
and to develop prevention measures in university institutions. This text presents
the results of biographical-narrative research carried out among the student
population in a situation of abandonment of the universities of Andalusia that
has allowed us to recover 22 stories of abandonment carried out by as many exstudents
who were enrolled in any of the nine universities. Andalusians publish
in any of the different university degree studies. The biographical texts have
been subjected to narrative analysis to achieve personal exemplifications and
characterize paradigmatic cases of relationship between the dimensions of the
problem, using concept mapping to present the outcomes.},
