Abstract

An exploratory study was conducted to identify academic needs expressed by psychology students who are victims of criminal acts and at risk of dropping out of their courses without completing their studies. In-depth interviews were held with 7 students, addressing issues such as classroom and extracurricular needs, academic materials and technology resources, institutional support, and teaching assistance. Content analysis was conducted using MAXQDA software. The main findings indicate that participants require academic flexibility, non-revictimization, teachers’ empathy, and the utilization of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) for empowerment and educational autonomy. It is concluded that implementing a "utilitarian-ethical" approach to ICT is essential to maximize its benefits and enhance learning. Digital critical pedagogy is seen as a tool to combat the risk of school dropout.
