Factors causing school dropout: application of the regression model at the Institución Universitaria Antonio José Camacho (UNIAJC) Factores causantes de la deserción escolar: aplicación de modelo de regresión en la Institución Universitaria Antonio José Camacho (UNIAJC)

Abstract

This article presents the progress of the work carried out within the framework of the research project, based on the Dean's Office of Research of the Institution, which is being carried out by the authors. This project works in the search of determining factors of the student desertion in the University Institution Antonio José Camacho through a mathematical statistical model; a study that, although it has worked in the institution, has not been focused from the probabilistic point of view, with the priority of showing the causes, the behavior and the affectation of this phenomenon.

Using tools provided for descriptive statistical analysis and subsequent confirmatory analysis, it is sought to establish a model that bases the implementation of policies, which allows obtaining the reduction of the aforementioned phenomenon. It is intended to show the advances that allow the necessary tools to understand, in a timely manner, how this phenomenon manifests itself and how it can be offered, not only from the academic sphere, but from multiple states that make up the University.

Currently, this situation is a national problem that affects all levels of education in the country's educational structure. Therefore, this is an appropriate and relevant scenario to establish contexts and clarities that allow us to analyze how the dropout directly affects education; not only in the institution where it is generated, but in the region that seeks to impact, given that education is a cross-cutting issue in the fields of action of a region.
