Os fatores que influenciam a evasão escolar e baixa frequência no ensino médio

Abstract

The work addresses the factors that influence school dropout in high school, focusing on student attendance at a public school in the municipality of Lajeado do Bugre, RS. The research identifies multifaceted causes of school dropout, including socioeconomic difficulties, demotivation of students and teachers, lack of family engagement and unattractive curricula. School dropout harms the professional and social future of young people and increases socioeconomic inequality in the country. The qualitative analysis of the research was based on interviews with students, parents, teachers and the school principal. The results highlighted the need for joint actions involving school, family and public policies to combat the problem. Interviewees highlighted the importance of more dynamic classes and innovative methodologies, such as interactive strategies, which increase student engagement. They also highlighted the influence of teachers' lack of interest and the lack of family support in increasing dropout rates. The research concludes that combating school dropout requires integrated exercises, it is essential to train teachers to use new technologies and teaching methods, involve families more in young people's school lives and create public policies that address the economic and social causes underlying the evasion. Only a holistic approach will be able to significantly reduce school dropouts and guarantee quality education.
