Avaliação do Programa Nacional de Assistência Estudantil (PNAES) no Campus do Sertão da Universidade Federal de Alagoas

Abstract

The general objective of this dissertation was to evaluate the implementation of the National Student Assistance Program (Pnaes) regarding the academic performance of students benefiting from the Prograduate scholarship (BPG), food allowance and housing allowance of the Sertão Campus of the Federal University of Alagoas, analyzing the retention, dropout and completion rates. To achieve the objectives of this research, the methodology was based on quantitative and documentary research. The time frame of the research included students enrolled in the years 2010 to 2016. This period is justified due to the implementation of the Sertão Campus and Pnaes having its implementation started in 2010. The data for the composition of this study curricular integration, retention and dropout of students were collected in the academic system (Sieweb), while the data regarding the benefits, these were made available by the Student Assistance Center (NAE) of the Sertão Campus, with the following amounts: 225 food aids; 305 housing allowances and 428 Pro-graduation scholarships, totaling 958 benefits analyzed. This total was distributed among the 8 courses at the Sertão Campus. For data treatment, descriptive statistics were used, using graphs and spreadsheets. With the result of the research, it was shown that the beneficiaries reached a percentage of 73.13% of graduations/curricular integrations for BPG beneficiaries, 67.11% of graduations/curricular integrations for beneficiaries of food assistance and 62.95% of graduations/payments of housing assistance beneficiaries. It should be noted that these percentages are indicative of averages, but there are differences between the axes of training and the courses. The research suggests as a technological technical product a monitoring protocol to improve the monitoring of beneficiaries, intending to verify, in advance, the academic situation of the student, thus acting preventively to mitigate the retention and dropout rates and, consequently, contribute to a greater success in undergraduate education.
