Popis: Abstract The study aimed to compare repeating and non-repeating students concerning the academic self-efficacy and academic adaptation variables and to verify how the social support and self-efficacy variables can predict the adaptation to Higher Education of students who have a history of reproval. Participants were 644 students, divided into those with a history of repetition or not. The Mann-Whitney test was used for group comparison and multiple regression analysis to investigate the prediction hypotheses. Higher scores in academic adaptation and self-efficacy in Higher Education were observed in non-repeating students. The study emphasizes the importance of providing resources aimed at the most vulnerable populations in the academic environment, including repeating students.
