Caracterização da evasão no âmbito do curso de matemática – licenciatura da Unipampa – Campus Itaqui: um estudo exploratório

Abstract

The present work proposes a study on university evasion, in particular of students from the Federal University of Pampa (Unipampa) – Itaqui, more specifically, those linked to the Mathematics course. There are many reasons given by students for dropping out of higher education and the factors involved can be psychological, financial, economic, social, among others. During the execution of this work, we prepared and proposed a questionnaire using Google Forms targeting students who dropped out of the course between 2012 and 2022. In addition to a recorded and documented interview with coordinator of the Mathematics course from 2021 to 2022, including the pandemic period. The analysis of the collected data followed a quantitative-qualitative approach and the main reasons given by the respondents were: work, lack of motivation/disenchantment with the course and difficulties in the teaching-learning relationship (translated into constant failures). A differential of the data presented here is the inclusion of the post-pandemic scenario and possible reasons that led to evasion when activities returned to face-to-face modality.
