Abstract

This research studies the phenomenon of evasion in technical courses offered by Colorado do Oeste Campus of Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Rondônia, observing the factors that influence the permanence of students and frequent reasons given by former students who haven‘t completed the course. To understand how avoidance and permanence is performed and felt by students, we applied a questionnaire to third-year students and graduates not former students of mid-level technical course. We found in the reports of graduates students, their outlook about the school. The three main reasons given by them about what collaborated with them to stay the course were: internal motivation, parental support and peer relationships. Reports of non-graduating students of identified several causes, among which we highlight the difficulty of learning content, which led to failure in disciplines, relationship problems at school, health issues and some cases of disinterest. The problem of evasion in professional education isn‘t news and, so, as detected from the theoretical framework on the production of school failure in Brazilian education, should be studied in more depth and focus of specific policies, pedagogical and administrative actions, aimed at overcoming them. In this investigation, we sought to understand the factors that influence academic success and failure in the institution analyzed, and the complexity of the phenomenon under investigation doesn‘t allow simplistic analyzes
