Abstract
University desertion continues to be a challenge for the directors of Higher
Education Institutions worldwide. It not only harms the mission of the
institutions, but also the income and quality indexes. Therefore, identifying the
reasons that lead students to abandon their studies today will serve to
understand the phenomenon and implement more effective policies to reduce
it. This study aims to contribute to the research of private universities,
particularly with a preventive and reactive management model to strengthen
retention and address dropout.
The main objective is to know the factors that prevent students from dropping
out and to reflect on the implementation of appropriate mechanisms to reduce
dropout according to the context of the institution. A review of the scientific
production of the years from 2018 to 2023 on the factors of dropout and
methods used to address them was conducted. Subsequently, 27 semi-
structured interviews of a universe of 28 students who were at risk of dropping
out were conducted to learn about the causes from their perspective. The
results were analyzed through constant comparisons according to grounded
theory. The findings suggest the potential of approaching students through
programs that help them to overcome their difficulties. Based on these
findings, the implementation of the Academic Improvement Program applied
to 12 young people who did not achieve academic performance was
evaluated. The evaluation was carried out using the Most Significant Path
technique. The main changes manifested in the students are: in their personal
development and growth and recovery of emotional balance. Finally, based
on these results, academic policies and the design of preventive and reactive
management models to reduce desertion are proposed, which will serve as a
practical framework for other institutions in similar contexts and for the
literature on the organizational management of universities.
