Academic Failure and Alienation: A Survey in Islamic Azad University Roudehen Branch

This study sought to measure the level of alienation among students and its effect of academic failure on it. Referring to the Bourdieuʹs theory about "confirmation and unification" or "segregation", "mental structure" and also Fokoʹs theory of "discipline" and "punishment", the research hypotheses were formulated. This non-experimental research was a correlational study. Data were collected once and there was no control group. Research population consists of all BA students in Islamic Azad University Roudehen Branch. 425 students were randomly selected as the members of sample group. A researcher-made questionnaire with its face validity measured was administered. Cronbach Alpha was used to measure the reliability of two variables of "alienation" and "academic failure"(a= 0.77 and a=0.65 respectively). The findings indicated that there is a direct relationship between academic failure and alienation.
