Licenciatura em Química da UFAL: evasão, desempenho e análise dos TCC dos alunos egressos

Abstract

This work aims to present the high rates of dropout and failure in the classes offered by the undergraduate course in Chemistry by the IQB at UFAL from 2015 to 2018, where it is observed that most alumni who study at the institute fail many essential disciplines, which prolongs the time they take to graduate, a fact that can contribute to the high dropout rate present in the course. This paper also seeks to trace the profile of the graduates formed by the Institute through the analysis of the 411 TCC presented by those graduated with the degree in Chemistry in the period from 2001 to 2018, where it is observed that the majority of students that graduate does not perform research in the education area, a phenomenon that is in decline, because, in recent years, the number of students who produce their TCC in the education area has been increasing every year. The research carried out was divided into two main stages: the analysis of academic dropout by the students, and the analysis of the Course Completion Works (TCC) of the graduating students.
