Abstract

This study deals with the dropout of students enrolled in undergraduate course in Bachelor of Information Systems at the Technological University of Paraná, with the main objective of identifying the most common causes of dropout from the course under study, aiming to propose alternatives and suggestions to combat the evasion phenomenon. This is exploratory research that, through a questionnaire, sought to outline a profile of dropouts, addressing social, economic and academic issues, in order to guide actions that will minimize the impact caused by this problem. The results show that reconciling the course with work was the biggest problem reported, followed by financial difficulties. Socioeconomic factors, health and vocational problems and difficulties in the initial subjects of the course also ended up favoring dropout. It is concluded, therefore, that adjustments in these aspects may contribute to the permanence of university students in the course until its conclusion.
