Permanência e Evasão na Educação a Distância: uma análise dos cursos subsequentes do IFSULDEMINAS Campus Muzambinho
Resumo
The creation of the Federal Institutes, expanding their campuses and the increase in
the supply of vacancies of distance education has provided the democratization of
access to education. However, high rates of evasion are observed by those
institutions, a problem that causes economic losses. In the face of this reality, this
study sought to investigate what are the rates of evasion in the institution and to
identify the factors that contribute to the permanence and circumvention of technical
courses students following the distance offered by the Federal Institute of Education,
science and technology of southern Minas Gerais-campus Muzambinho. The sample
analysed was subsequent courses offered students in the distance at the polo capital
of Alfenas. The obtained results demonstrated that the factors that contribute to the
permanence are the support of the family and the professional recognition and the
factors that contribute to the avoidance are the lack of face-to-face lessons, the
difficulty of performing stage, the difficulty to understand the contents and to reconcile
work with their studies.
