Impact Factors of Student's Abandon Learning Activities: Case Study in Dili

This research aims to explore the factors causing the problem of abandoned learning and gather perspectives to solve the problem of abandoned learning activities. This is a case study with a qualitative approach. This study was conducted in 18 schools, where the informants were 82 people from June to December 2021. The result of this study discovered internal and external factors. The internal factors included students’ interest and motivation, discipline and attitude, disinterest, and physiological. The external factors were family, teachers, school, and peers. While dealing with these factors, researchers concluded that school conditions and the quality of teachers promoted non-violent education. The results suggested that schools must design and reinforce the control instruments and implement school counseling. The Ministry of Education recruits competent and professional teachers; parents and society in general establish a co-operative spirit, paying attention to the students to obey the rules. The next research needs to involve another subject, schools at different levels. Keywords: factors, abandon, learning activities
