Resumo: | The aim of this article was to study some indicators of academic performance (number of students per class, dropout rate, failure rate and scores obtained by the students) to identify a pattern of behavior that would enable to implement improvements in the teaching-learning process. The sample was composed of five classes of undergraduate courses in Engineering. The data were collected for three years. Initially an exploratory analysis with analytical and graphical techniques was performed. An analysis of variance and Tukey’s test investigated some sources of variability. This information was used in the construction of control charts. We have found evidence that classes with more students are associated with higher failure rates and lower mean. Moreover, when the course was later in the curriculum, the students had higher scores. The results showed that although they have been detected some special causes interfering in the process, it was possible to stabilize it and to monitor it. |

A amostra investigada foi composta por cinco turmas, oferecidas a cursos de graduação em Engenharia, as quais foram acompanhadas por três anos. Inicialmente foi realizada uma análise exploratória com técnicas analíticas e gráficas. Uma análise de variância complementada com o teste de Tukey investigou algumas fontes de variabilidade, fornecendo subsídios para a construção dos gráficos de controle. Encontraram-se evidências de que turmas com maior quantidade de estudantes estão associadas a maiores taxas de reprovação e a médias mais baixas e de que cursos que têm a disciplina mais tarde na estrutura curricular obtiveram médias mais altas. Os resultados encontrados mostraram que, embora tenham sido detectadas algumas causas especiais interferindo no processo, foi possível estabilizá-lo para que fosse monitorado.Associação Brasileira de Engenharia de Produção2014-05-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfvideo/mp4https://www.producaoonline.org.br/rpo/article/view/159210.14488/1676-1901.v14i2.1592Revista Produção Online; Vol. 14 No. 2 (2014); 744-763Revista Produção Online; v. 14 n. 2 (2014); 744-7631676-1901reponame:Revista Produção Onlineinstname:Associação Brasileira de Engenharia de Produção (ABEPRO)instacron:ABEPROporhttps://www.producaoonline.org.br/rpo/article/view/1592/1156https://www.producaoonline.org.br/rpo/article/view/1592/1157Copyright (c) 2014 Revista Produção Onlineinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGautério, Ezequiel GibbonMattos, Viviane Leite Dias de2015-11-11T17:25:36Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/1592Revistahttp://producaoonline.org.br/rpoPUBhttps://www.producaoonline.org.br/rpo/oai||producaoonline@gmail.com1676-19011676-1901opendoar:2015-11-11T17:25:36Revista Produção Online - Associação Brasileira de Engenharia de Produção (ABEPRO)false |
