O abandono no curso de estatística da Universidade Federal de Goiás: quando os alunos desistem?

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze when the students who joined the bachelor's degree in Statistics from the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) graduated from 2009 to 2012. For this purpose, documentary research is carried out, in consultation with documents of the Ministry of Education, and, in particular, data from the Brazilian Higher Education Census, published by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira, in the period from 2009 to 2017. In addition, the study is anchored in bibliographic research, based on authors who discuss mainly the themes of evasion and stay in higher education. As a result, this study shows that: the highest absolute evasion of the course takes place in the first year, and the highest chance of evasion is from the fourth to the fifth year of the course; few can form; of those who form, most take more than the regular period, which is nine semesters; and the percentage of those who transfer to other courses at the same university is significant.
