EVASÃO ESCOLAR NO ENSINO TÉCNICO PROFISSIONALIZANTE: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NO INSTITUTO FEDERAL GOIANO - CAMPUS CERES

Abstract

The present study had as objective to analyze the scholar evasion in the Subsequent/Concomitant Technical Computer Course offered at the Federal Institute Goiano - Campus Ceres, in classroom presential mode and night shift. The research treated the scholar evasion as the definitive abandonment by the student of the course of origin, before the conclusion. The study used a qualitative and quantitative methodological approach and data collection was based on the following instruments: bibliographic research, which enabled the construction of the theoretical foundation, permeating the concepts that involve Professional and Technological Education (EFA), the world of work, work as an educational principle and scholar evasion; documentary research and field research, which made it possible to gather information about the studied course and, through a semi-structured questionnaire, applied to the members of the pedagogical team, coordinators, teachers and students evaded from the course studied, to the research participants. The obtained results allowed to conclude that the evaded students, in the majority, belong to classes less favored economically, live of the own work, come from public schools and contribute to the family sustenance. The main factor detected for the occurrence of the scholar evasion was the difficulty of reconciling work with the studies. These results point to the need for educational institutions and educational managers to formulate strategies to reduce scholar evasion in the analyzed course, since school failure is often attributed to the student and veiled in socioeconomic factors and public educational policies. As a result of this study, a comic book entitled "Conversation with Friends" was developed, which made it possible to question, bring to the dialogue school dropout and to point out possible measures to be adopted to reduce the rates of dropout by students of the Subsequent/Concomitant Technical Computer Course at the Federal Institute Goiano - Campus Ceres.
