Resumo: This article analyzes the causes of course evasion in a pilot graduate course in the distance learning modality, linked to the Open University System of Brazil. Evasion is understood to be the definite abandonment by the student at any stage of the course, by absence, by request or by insufficient academic performance. The course was offered to students of two distinct regions of the country: Federal District (DF) and the northern region. A quantitative research was done from the analysis of documents and survey in order to evaluate evasion by DF students. The documental research included all DF students. Data collection was carried out from the application of an instrument called “Behavior and Attitudes of the Student in Relation to Distance Learning”, a version validated by  Almeida (2007) from the questionnaire built and validated by Moura-Walter (2006), considering the factors that influenced the evasion from the distance learning course. The final sample was made up of 39 students from the DF that evaded the course. The documental research indicated 225 (36.23%) students evaded, with the main reason for evasion being the academic performance and it happened essentially in the first semesters of the Course. With the survey it is noticeable that a greater attention is needed to the difficulty of adapting to distance learning and the planning of study social support. Among the results, highlighted is that the abandonment is the main cause of evasion and is linked to low performance in course subjects for various reasons.

O curso foi ofertado para alunos de duas regiões distintas do país: Distrito Federal (DF) e região norte.  Foi realizada pesquisa quantitativa a partir da análise de documentos e levantamento de dados (survey) para avaliar a evasão dos alunos do DF. A pesquisa documental abrangeu todos os alunos do DF.  O levantamento de dados foi feito a partir da aplicação do instrumento denominado “Comportamentos e Atitudes do Aluno em Relação a Cursos a Distância”,  uma versão validada por Almeida (2007) do  questionário  construído e validado por Moura-Walter (2006),  considerados como fatores que influenciam a evasão em cursos a distância. A amostra final foi composta por 39 alunos do DF que se evadiram do curso. Os resultados da pesquisa documental  apontaram 225  (36,23%)  alunos evadidos, sendo o principal motivo da evasão o rendimento acadêmico e a evasão ocorreu essencialmente nos primeiros semestres do Curso.  Com o levantamento de dados pode-se  perceber a necessidade de maior atenção às dificuldades de adaptação ao estudo a distância e ao planejamento e suporte social  ao estudo. Dentre os resultados, destaca-se que  o abandono é a principal causa da evasão e que está associado ao baixo desempenho nas disciplinas do curso por motivos diversos.Universidade Estadual de Maringá2012-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/TeorPratEduc/article/view/1848710.4025/tpe.v14i3.18487Teoria e Prática da Educação; v. 14 n. 3 (2011); 43-562237-87071415-837Xreponame:Teoria e Prática da Educação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)instacron:UEMporhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/TeorPratEduc/article/view/18487/9641Bruno-Faria, Maria de FátimaFranco, Angélica Lopesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-12T13:53:57Zoai:periodicos.uem.br/ojs:article/18487Revistahttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/TeorPratEducPUBhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/TeorPratEduc/oaiteoriaepraticadaeducacao@gmail.com || teoriaepraticadaeducacao@gmail.com2237-87071415-837xopendoar:2023-01-12T10:59:24.734247Teoria e Prática da Educação (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)true
