Abstract

RESUMEN Este trabajo presenta un análisis, tanto de los determinantes, como de la evolución del rendimiento académico y de la deserción estudiantil, en el programa de Economía de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana de Cali, con base en los estudiantes matriculados entre el segundo semestre de 2000 y el segundo de 2003. Para desarrollar la investigación, se utilizó información secundaria y primaria; esta última se consiguió a través de una encuesta aplicada a la población de estudiantes,activos y desertores, de Economía. Para el análisis, se utilizaron métodos de estadística descriptiva unidimensional y bidimensional, y métodos propios de estadística multivariante. Dado que las poblaciones por cohorte eran relativamente pequeñas, se incluyeron todas las cohortes matriculadas desde el segundo semestre de 2000 hasta el segundo semestre de 2003. Para lograr coherencia en los análisis del rendimiento académico, se estandarizó la permanencia de los estudiantes, razón por la cual se analizó sólo hasta el tercer semestre. Los resultados muestran que el apoyo familiar y el rendimiento académico previo inciden en la deserción. El rendimiento académico de un estudiante se afecta, no sólo por el rendimiento previo en matemáticas y lenguaje, sino también por los factores sexo y número de créditos matriculados. ABSTRACT This work presents an analysis of the determining factors in the evolution of academic performance and the drop-out rate of students in the Economics program of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Cali, from the second semester of 2000 to the second semester of 2003. To carry out this research, primary and secondary information was used; the former was obtained using a survey applied to current students and those who had dropped out. One-dimensional and two-dimensional descriptive statistical methods were used for the analysis, together with appropriate multi-variant statistical methods. Given that the population per group was relatively small, all groups matriculated from the second semester of 2000, up to the second semester of 2003 were included. For the sake of coherence in the analysis of academic performance the permanence of the students was standardized, and for this reason the analysis was made only up to the third semester. Results show that family support and previous academic performance are factors that affect drop-out from the Economics program, and that a student’s academic performance is affected by previous performance in mathematics and language, in the same way as the number of creditsmatriculated, and gender.
