This research investigates the phenomenon of student silence within the university setting, analyzing its causes and its impact on academic dropout. A preliminary qualitative analysis, conducted with university professors, has outlined a profile of these students characterized by vulnerability, immaturity, and relational difficulties, exacerbated by the pandemic context and distance learning. The preliminary results suggest the need for innovative and personalized pedagogical interventions, focused on students’ psychological well-being and active involvement in learning. It is essential to strengthen teachers’ relational skills, promote learning communities, and offer support services. The importance of an interdisciplinary and integrated approach to address the phenomenon of student silence emerges, improving students’ well-being and academic success.
La presente ricerca indaga il fenomeno del silenzio studentesco nell’ambito universitario, analizzandone le cause e le ripercussioni sulla dispersione accademica. Un’analisi qualitativa preliminare, condotta su docenti universitari, ha delineato un profilo di questi studenti caratterizzato da fragilità, immaturità e difficoltà relazionali, accentuate dal contesto pandemico e dalla didattica a distanza. I risultati preliminari suggeriscono la necessità di interventi pedagogici innovativi e personalizzati, focalizzati sul benessere psicologico e sul coinvolgimento attivo degli studenti. È fondamentale rafforzare le competenze relazionali dei docenti, promuovere comunità di apprendimento e offrire servizi di supporto. Emerge l’importanza di un approccio interdisciplinare e integrato per affrontare il fenomeno del silenzio studentesco, migliorando il benessere e il successo accademico degli studenti.
