Fatores Associados à Evasão no Ensino Superior Brasileiro: um estudo de análise de sobrevivência para os cursos das áreas de Ciência, Matemática e Computação e de Engenharia, Produção e Construção em instituições públicas e privadas

Abstract

The shortage of professionals in the field of natural sciences and engineering is a problem that reaches many countries. In Brazil, one of the reasons for this is the significant dropout rates that the courses of the field in the tertiary education present. Since the courses of public institutions and the financial support offered to students from private institutions are paid with governmental resources, it is important to evaluate the reasons that lead to abandon. Thus, this article seeks to analyze the dropout rates of these courses, studying covariates that influence on this decision. The method employed is the Survival Analysis, and the dataset used is the Tertiary Education Survey from 2009 to 2014. As results, it is found that the dropout rates are higher in private colleges. Men and older students present a negative time ratio, but the indexes are positive if the student receives financial support.
