FATORES DE EVASÃO ESCOLAR NOS CURSOS TÉCNICOS INTEGRADOS AO ENSINO MÉDIO

Abstract

Increasing the number of enrollments within the scope of the Federal Education Network, dropout continued to be on the list of problems faced by the educational management in technical courses integrated into high school of vocational and technological education. This research aimed to investigate the determining factors for school dropout in technical courses integrated into high school in Brazil. This research comprised three stages, starting with a systematic review of the literature by Pubmed, Eric, Scielo, Scopus, and Spell platforms, comprising a period from January 2013 to February 2022. The second stage was carried out by collecting secondary data on the Nilo Peçanha Platform from 2018 to 2020, being analyzed using logistic regression. The third stage was to develop an educational product entitled “Guide for using the Nilo Peçanha Platform and extracting data for developing policies and actions to combat school dropout”. The educational product is an online guide, which was validated by course coordinators and teaching directors at Goiano Federal Institute through an electronic questionnaire. Results showed a higher dropout risk by male students when compared to female students. Regarding race and color, there is a greater risk for black students. It was also clear that the higher the student age, the greater the risk of leaving school before completing the course. and the higher the income, the lower the risk of the student dropping out. Considering the course workload, the increase in the number of hours increases the risk of the student dropping out. In the analysis of Brazilian geographic macro-regions, the lowest risk of dropout is in the south region. This research fills a gap, as there are still few studies that address the specific reality of high school courses addressing secondary and technological education. Results of this research point to a need to strengthen public policies and actions to deal with school dropout in technical courses integrated into high school, and these policies and actions should observe the permanence and success issues concerning these students until completing their studies.
