Evasão e permanência dos alunos nos cursos de pós-graduação Lato Sensu online e presenciais da Fundação Getulio Vargas - FGV

Resumo

Purpose – The study seeks to know the factors that motivate students’ avoidance and permanence in the Lato Sensu Online and In Person Graduate Courses of the Getulio Vargas Foundation – FGV, in Brazil, from 2014 to 2018. Design/Methodology/Approach – The literature was used in order to investigate and provide instruments on the reasons that lead to the permanence and avoidance of students in online and in-person courses. This bibliography helped to understand reality in other institutions; these points were very important for the other phases of the work. Subsequently, a quantitative research was carried out with the students who escaped and those who completed the Online and In Person Graduate Courses of the Getulio Vargas Foundation. Finally, a descriptive analysis of the sample considered in the study and then the statistical analysis was performed. The data collected in the sent questionnaires were taken and data analyzes and comparisons between the students who concluded the course and those who evaded were considered. In addition, interviews were conducted with experienced teachers in the EAD modality, since the type does not allow the performance of a qualitative research to perform the triangulation of the data. Findings – As a conclusion, it was possible to understand the student of which course (online or in person) had a lower chance of evading, the student of which sex had a greater chance of evading, which variables of interest in the questionnaire presented statistical significance. Research limitations – The study is subject to limitations, because it is a specific research with Graduate Courses of the Getulio Vargas Foundation – FGV. It is important to consider the subjectivity of the information of the questionnaires, as well as the commitment of the respondents’ responses, so that the presented results should not be extended to other institutions of the same sector. Practical implications – The research carried out may serve as support for future studies in other educational institutions, since information on the causes of evasion and permanence in postgraduate courses was collected. It was also defined which variables of interest of the questionnaire applied to the students influenced during the course, to evade or complete the course.
