Title: Review of some studies on university student dropout in Colombia and Latin America
Authors: Luceli Patiño de Peña
Abstract: A study was developed from the research paper Study of academic mortality, pedagogical strategies, and dropout on dropout levels in Colombia and Latin America in order to identify factors that in some way affect increased dropout, such as admissions exams, vocational guidance, economics, and personal difficulties. We also identified the elements of greatest convergence: causes of dropping out, economic difficulties, students’ personal and family histories, secondary education, and, to a lesser degree, suggested strategies that can be used by universities. Therefore, we can conclude that despite the great diversity of studies, the shortcoming lies in the lack of effective policies curtailing university dropout and lack of support for regional education policies to integrate university, society and State
En el marco del Estudio de la mortalidad académica, estrategias pedagógicas y deserción, se desarrolló una investigación sobre niveles de deserción en Colombia y Latinoamérica para identificar los factores que inciden. Se encuentra que los exámenes de ingreso, la orientación vocacional, la economía y los problemas personales presentan mayor rele-vancia. Así, se identifican elementos de mayor convergencia, como causas de deserción, dificultades económicas, historia personal y familiar de los estudiantes, educación media y estrategias que puedan ser usadas por universidades. Se concluye que, aunque existe interés y diversidad en los estudios encontrados, la falencia yace en la ausencia de políticas efectivas que frenen la deserción y en la falta de apoyo a las políticas educativas regionales para integrar a la universidad, la sociedad y el Estado
