Análise da evasão no curso de licenciatura em física do IFPI Angical do Piauí

Abstract

This article investigates the evasion of students in the Physics Degree course at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí, Campus Angical. Aiming to understand the implications of actions to combat evasion before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, build a historical series of the situation covering the past five years, to identify the internal and external causes of the phenomenon, map the actions of combat and indicate proposals for coping with evasion. The methodology, of the quanti-qualitative type, involved a case study, having as data source the reports obtained through the academic control of the institution and an interview with six former students of the course. The survey results, presented in tables, graphs and charts, revealed variations in dropout rates and factors that contribute to the phenomenon in the course. There was also a discussion about the actions planned to face evasion in the institution, particularly in the context of the pilot project of remote education in the pandemic of COVID-19. It was concluded that this is a phenomenon that refers to several factors that contribute to the disconnection of students from the course. In the context of the pandemic, in which Remote Education was the main strategy for the continuity of teaching and learning, the IFPI made the process of using knowledge and experiences through remote classes and teaching projects more flexible, creating an atypical situation of low approval and disapproval, in addition to containing mass evasion
