Evasão nos cursos de licenciatura em física e matemática do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciências e Tecnologia do Amazonas – Campus Manaus Centro

Abstract

The research presents a survey conducted at the Federal Institute of Education Science and Technology Amazon - Manaus Campus Center that aimed to point out the main cause of evasion in degree courses in Physics and Mathematics. Know the reasons for the dropout of students in higher courses in mathematics and physics from the Federal Institute of Amazonas. Producing a theoretical framework that addresses issues such as the historical and contemporary context of higher education, as well as focus on developing a system for identification and analysis of student output of conditioning factors in higher level courses mentioned. The work employ as approach, qualitative, as such was the ideal choice to understand the nature of a social phenomenon, studied in this work with the intention of building an interpretive result, defining a problem, with bases in relations found, and also the research used descriptive and exploratory methodological perspective, in trying to understand the reality of the issue in order to understand why the evasion. To illustrate the application of the technique, we employed data from all students entering higher education in mathematics and Amazonas Federal Institute Physics - IFAM in the 2009 period up to 2012. The results indicate some factors that would have adversely influenced the avoidance of phenomena these students.
