Social and academic interactions approach stands out among the perspectives that explain retention and dropout of university studies (Tinto, 1975, 1993). The interactional point of view was one of the main pillars for the development of this doctoral thesis since it created the conditions to develop research instruments and methods. In this context, one of the main contributions of this research was to propose the use of Learner Identity as an analytical tool (Coll y Falsafi, 2010a; Falsafi, 2011; Falsafi y Coll, 2011, 2015) to identify and analyze university experiences narrated by a group of students of University of Concepción. Along with the results obtained, properties of Learner Identity as an analytical tool were described, starting with questionnaire and interview design, in addition to a proposal of mechanisms that enabled the analysis of information given by students who participated in the research. Once the experience was defined -through the application and analysis of instruments- it was possible to explore the social and individual dimensions of Learner Identity in university contexts. Through the use of Learner Identity as an analytical tool (Coll y Falsafi, 2010a; Falsafi, 2011) it was possible to obtain evidence to propose its utilization for the study of learning experiences in academic and non-academic contexts, accurately determining characteristics of interactions in different university scenarios, the influence of the student’s experiences on self-perception as a more competent student and on intentions to remain studying. Along with a characterization of interactions that guided a group of students into reflecting about significant experiences they lived at university, instruments were developed as well as a methodology to operationalize the use of Learner Identity as an analytical tool in the context of retention and dropout. It is recommended that university teachers take these findings into consideration to offer acts of recognition that strengthen students’ sense of recognition (Falsafi, 2011; Valdés, 2016); to influence the creation of proposals oriented to make the most of university experiences and to produce institutional mechanisms that can mediate students’ retention until they graduate.
