| Sumario: | Scholar dropout affects vulnerable condition populations and has a multifactorial character. Dropout occurs in a greater proportion in the first semesters, the introductory courses are the most affected, and this situation is particularly observed in the area of Mathematics. This article shows the main results about a quantitate study whose aims was determine, by means of a multiple logistic regression analysis, which are the most relevant factors related to school dropout in the Matematica General course of the Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica. The information was obtained through a self-administered questionnaire to 906 students enrolled in the course during the first semester of 2018. The results show that the scholarship holding and the previous academic performance in high school act as protective factors; On the other hand, the laboral condition, belonging to careers in the engineering area, being a man and the group of origin are considered risk factors. It is necessary that university take actions that seek to increase the permanence of students from contexts with educational disadvantages, providing not only access but accompaniment during the first year of the career; for which it is suggested to coordinate with other university instances such as the mentoring program as well as to evaluate a redesign of contents of the Matematica General course. |
