RESUMEN: Las instituciones educativas privadas se insertan en un entorno cada vez más
competitivo. En este sentido, un fenómeno que debe ser controlado por la dirección de la
escuela es la evasión escolar. Esta investigación tenía como objetivo proponer un plan para
prevenir la evasión asociado a razones o causas pedagógicas. Para ello, se realizó una
investigación de enfoque cualitativo exploratorio documental sobre los datos puestos a
disposición por la institución sobre la deserción, referidos al período de 2016 a 2019, y sobre
la satisfacción de las familias con la escuela, comprendiendo el período de 2018 a 2020; una
revisión sistemática para el relevamiento de aportes bibliográficos sobre el tema; y una
investigación descriptiva de campo para el análisis de la percepción de las familias de los
alumnos y de los docentes sobre el trabajo pedagógico realizado por la institución. Como
resultado, se determinaron algunas dimensiones pedagógicas relevantes para el estudio del
abandono escolar y se identificaron problemas locales (por año de enseñanza) y globales (del
segmento) de la institución que se relacionan con su producto pedagógico. A partir de ahí, se
elaboró un plan de prevención de la evasión escolar asociado a razones o causas pedagógicas.
Introduction

School dropout due to pedagogical reasons or causes
Given the above, this work was conducted in a private elementary school, in which the
historical line of the institution's internal data signaled that the final years of elementary school
hold the second highest dropout rate in the period from 2016 to 2019 and that there is some
relationship of part of these evasions with the pedagogical work performed by the institution.
Facing this phenomenon, the analysis of quantitative data disconnected from proposals to be
implemented by the institution seems inhospitable, since the identification of which segment or
school year had the highest dropout or how many students dropped out has no practical meaning
if it does not unveil the reasons and causes of these dropouts and if it does not culminate in
actions aimed at minimizing them.
The general objective of this paper is to propose a prevention plan for dropouts due to
pedagogical reasons or causes, and its specific objectives are to identify in the literature the
pedagogical factors associated with school dropouts and to analyze the perception of guardians
and teachers of this segment about the pedagogical work done by the institution.
The work, inscribed in a quali-quantitative approach, was carried out in a private upper
middle class school located in the state of São Paulo, in the Great ABC region, and was
elaborated in three stages.
In the first stage, an exploratory documentary research was carried out based on reports
of surveys conducted by the institution in previous years, being the survey with the guardians
of the students who dropped out in the period from 2016 to 2019 and the satisfaction survey for
the period 2018-2020. According to Gil (1999), documentary research makes use of materials
that have not yet received an analytical treatment or that can be reworked according to the
objectives of a research. On the other hand, the exploratory approach provides greater
familiarity with the theme, making the problem more explicit or facilitating the creation of
hypotheses. For this study to be carried out, the administration of the institution signed a consent
form for the use of the data in this study. Both surveys had their data collected by means of
questionnaires sent to those responsible via e-mail. For the purposes of this paper, in the first
survey, the questions were observed: "For what reason did you transfer your child from one
school to another?" and "How likely are you to recommend the school to a friend or colleague?"
and, in the second survey, the questions were based on: "Have you ever thought of changing
your child's school?" and "For what reason would you change your child's school?". The data
were reorganized for the objectives of this work and analyzed in a qualitative-quantitative way.

In the second stage, a systematic review was conducted about the topic of school dropout
related to pedagogical factors. According to Donato and Donato (2019), the systematic review
allows for a comprehensive and critical bibliographic research on the topic, and this approach
allows answering a well-defined research question. To this end, the bases Google Academic,
Dialnet and Periodicals of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Level Personnel
(CAPES) were defined, due to the multidisciplinary nature of the work, and the period from
2015 to 2021, in order to collect the most recent contributions on the subject. The descriptors
used were: "school dropout", "reasons", "causes", and "pedagogical(s)".
In the Google Academic platform, these descriptors were searched only in the titles of
the publications, without considering citations, using the following combinations: "school
dropout reasons", "school dropout causes", "school dropout pedagogical", and "school dropout
pedagogical". The same combinations of descriptors were used in the Dialnet platform. The
search on Capes database resulted in a considerable number of publications, but from a previous
reading of the titles it was observed that a significant number of these works were not related
to the theme and, therefore, the database was disregarded. The inclusion criterion was then to
associate evasion with pedagogical factors in the title or abstract and to have been published in
Portuguese. We excluded course completion papers, monographs, dissertations, theses or books
for logistical reasons, and papers that, although published in the referred period, analyzed
previous historical periods, emphasizing only articles and experience reports published in
scientific journals and congress annals. The final database was organized and the articles were
analyzed individually.
Finally, in the third stage, a descriptive field research was carried out with teachers and
guardians of students enrolled in classes of the final years of elementary school. According to
Gil (1999), the descriptive approach has as its main objective to describe characteristics of a
certain population or phenomenon and establish relationships between variables. Initially, it
was decided, with the direction of the institution, the form of data collection and the stages of
dissemination of the research. Regarding data collection, a form was sent to each category of
respondent (responsible for the students and teachers). In order to obtain more precise data, it
was decided to prepare a form for each grade for the students' families, and for both families
and teachers, they were told that the answers would be anonymous. Regarding the disclosure
of the research to the students' families, three stages were carried out over three consecutive
weeks, including the month of August 2021. In the first week, an official communication was
sent to the e-mail addresses of the students' guardians explaining the relevance of the research
for the institution, along with the links to access the forms for data collection. In the second

School dropout due to pedagogical reasons or causes
week, the direction and the pedagogical coordination contacted the guardians considered close
to the institution so that they could encourage the other guardians to also participate in the
research. And, finally, in the third week, the educational guidance contacted all the families via
WhatsApp with a synthesized version of the first communication and with the same links to
access the forms. As for the disclosure of the survey to teachers, the pedagogical coordination
sent a communication through the segment's WhatsApp group in the first week and reinforced
individually the relevance of the survey over the other two weeks. Table 1 below shows the
local (per year) and global (segment) percentage response rates obtained with the survey with
the segment's guardians and teachers.
The forms sent to each category of respondents presented, on their first page, the
informed consent form (ICF) and the question "Do you accept to participate in the research?",
with the options "I accept" and "I do not accept". In the case of acceptance, the form took the
respondent to the next page, which contained five affirmatives and one open question. Five
different statements were elaborated for each category of respondent, but each one of them was
related to the same pedagogical dimension: (1) Evaluation method, (2) Monitoring of academic
life, (3) Relationship with colleagues and teachers, (4) Quality of classes, (5) Development of
autonomy through pedagogical practices, and (6) Infrastructure of remote teaching. The open
question, on the other hand, was intended to collect elements that were not understood in the
dimensions considered or to allow the respondent to describe more precisely some of his or her
answers. Table 2 below presents the statements prepared for each category of respondents and
the open question.

School dropout due to pedagogical reasons or causes
The exploratory documentary research conducted with the data made available by the
institution about the students who dropped out in the period 2016-2019 pointed out that one of
the options in the questionnaire sent to the guardians of these students, called "Pedagogical
part", occupied a prominent position as an answer to the question "For what reason did you
transfer your child from school?", being selected by 30% of the respondents. In addition, other
options that may be related to pedagogical, such as "Lack of individual attention", also emerged
as a response to this item. On the other hand, these same respondents, when commenting on the
answer to the question "How likely are you to recommend Harmonia School to a friend or
colleague?", highlight the "teaching quality" as the main reason for the indication, which
suggests a problem in understanding which elements constitute, or what it means for the
respondents, the "pedagogical part".
In the 2018-2020 parent satisfaction survey, when asked about "Have you ever thought
of changing schools for your child?", 43% of the parents answered "sometimes", and when
answering the question "For what reason would you change schools for your child?", again the
option "pedagogical part" appeared among the main answers, being chosen by 26% of the
respondents. The exploratory documentary research indicated the existence of problems related
to the pedagogical part of the institution, but the inconsistencies pointed out suggest the need
for a greater understanding of what was put by those responsible as "pedagogical part". To
unveil the elements that constitute this expression and that are associated with school dropout,
we initially conducted a systematic review of the literature on the subject.
The systematic review resulted in 111 papers, of which 45 were considered potentially
relevant because the results met the inclusion criteria. After examining the papers using the
exclusion criteria, the final database was obtained. Chart 1 below shows the results of the
systematic review.

The final database contains 26 articles that were read in their entirety, and in each article
we sought to identify the general proposal (to propose strategies to deal with dropout or to
analyze elements related to dropout) and which pedagogical aspects were related to the topic of
school dropout. Table 3 below presents this compiled data, regarding the first author, year,
teaching modality, the general proposal of the article, and which pedagogical aspects were
associated with dropout at work.

Of the identified papers, all of them discuss public education, 11 deal with basic
education, 9 with higher education, 3 deal with youth and adult education, 2 deal with technical
and professional education, and 1 deals with continuing teacher education.
It was observed that 14 studies (6 of basic education, 4 of higher education, 2 of
professional and technical education, and 2 of youth and adult education) aim to analyze
possible causes of school dropout. Among these, 7 took data from the students' point of view,
3 from the teachers', 2 from the counselors/coordinators/directors, and 2 were bibliographic or
documental in nature. Among the causes found are issues related to the political pedagogical
project, the curriculum (structure and organization), the teaching methodologies, the didactics,
the evaluation methods, the teaching staff, the institutional support to the student, and the
interpersonal relationships.
On the other hand, 12 papers (5 in basic education, 5 in higher education, 1 in continuing
education for teachers, and 1 in youth and adult education) discuss possible pedagogical actions
to deal with dropouts. Among these, 8 suggest measures related to teaching methodology and
4 related to the monitoring of the student's school and academic life to deal with dropout.
Besides this, we can highlight other actions presented in the studies related to the political
pedagogical project, the curriculum (structure/organization and the student's perception of its
value), the teachers' continuing education, the evaluation methods, and the relationship with
colleagues and teachers. From this analysis, it can be noted that despite the complexity of the
dropout theme pointed out by the literature, the works that present proposals to deal with this
phenomenon approach it without taking into account the multiplicity of pedagogical dimensions
associated with dropout.

From the results of the systematic review, which culminated in the survey of the
pedagogical dimensions that are related to school dropout, a descriptive field research was
conducted with the responsible people and teachers of the institution. Next, we will present the
results, expressed as percentages, obtained from the evaluation made by the respondents of the
statements presented in Table 2, and the discussions of these results with the results of the
systematic review and other relevant literature.
Regarding dimension 1 of Table 2, Chart 2 shows that the evaluative activities are not
a point of attention for the segment in the perception of the caregivers. However, it is observed
that locally in the 9th grade there is a significant decrease among those who "strongly agree"
that the evaluative activities contribute to the development of students. Given that this is a year
of teaching linked to re-enrollment for the next segment, it is observed in the work of Figueiredo
(2017) that practices related to evaluation, whether its method or its conduct, may emerge as
possible impact factors on dropout.

On the same dimension, Chart 3 represents the teachers' perception on the contribution
of the evaluation system to the students' development. Of the responding teachers, 50% are
between "partially disagree" (16.67%) and "partially agree" (33.33%) that the evaluation system
contributes to student development. The results suggest some degree of dissatisfaction of
teachers in relation to the evaluation system. In this sense, Grisa and Ferrari (2016) argue that
evaluation depends on the interests and goals of the school, and must also respect principles

Regarding dimension 2, in Chart 4 we can see that the follow-up of the student's
academic life is a point of attention in the segment, since 38.18% of the people responsible are
between "I strongly disagree" (16.67%) and "I partially disagree" (29.09%) about receiving
feedback from the coordination, guidance, or teachers during the student's learning process.
Moreover, it is observed that this problem worsens in the initial years, especially in the 7th
grade, where 63.63% of those responsible are between "strongly disagree" (18.18%) and
"partially disagree" (45.45%). The survey conducted by Santos and collaborators (2020) on
dropout in higher education indicates the need to develop a structured institutional monitoring
plan of the students' academic life, not only about their learning, but also about their experience
in the educational environment.

Also on the second dimension, Chart 5 represents the teachers' perception of the
feedback process on their practice by the coordination. Among the respondents, 50% are
between "strongly disagree" (16.67%), "partially disagree" (16.67%) and "partially agree"
(16.67%). The dispersion of the data suggests that this process is not structured or clear for
teachers. According to Domingues (2013), the school is a locus for the continuing education
process of teachers, which must consider aspects such as the school culture of the institution.
For this author, bringing training closer to the workplace shortens the distance between actual
teaching action and reflection on that action. Thus, pedagogical coordination plays a
fundamental role in the teachers' personal and affective involvement, giving concreteness to the
school's educational project.

Related to dimension 3, in Chart 6 it is shown that the view of those responsible in the
segment is positive about the relationships between students, their classmates and teachers,
since 94.55% of respondents are between "partially agree" (41.82%) and "strongly agree"
(52.73%) that students maintain positive relationships with their classmates and teachers. About
the teacher-student relationship, Queiroz and Vieira (2019), when studying the imbrications
between pedagogical mediations and practices and dropout in elementary school, place the
teacher-student relationship as a first-order motivational factor, such that it can favor the
construction of a favorable environment for learning.

On the other hand, about the third dimension, Chart 7 points out that in the view of the
teachers 50% are between "strongly agree" and "partially agree" with the existence of bullying
practices among students. Regarding interpersonal relationships among students, Boff and
Bagnara (2020) investigated the school dropout in technical and vocational education and point
out that the lack of respect in the academic environment and the absence of understanding when
expressing their ideas are points that need the institution's attention. The divergence between
the perception of guardians and teachers on this issue makes a specific investigation necessary
to understand how the learning environment is, in terms of interpersonal relationships, and the
institutional care about them.

About dimension 4, in Chart 8 it is pointed out that the dissatisfaction of the students
with the classes is a point of attention for the segment, since 61.81% of the responsible people
are between "partially agree" (36.36%) and "strongly agree" (25.45%) in relation to the students
showing direct or indirect dissatisfaction with the classes. Furthermore, it is observed that these
results are accentuated in 6th and 9th grade. For these particular years, the work of Silva and
collaborators (2019) stands out, who proposed pedagogical actions to combat dropout with
projects for monitoring the transition between segments as a preventive action, since academic
and sometimes institutional changes can significantly impact the student's life.

Regarding the fourth dimension, Chart 9 shows that in the view of the teachers 66.66%
are between "strongly agree" (33.33%) and "partially agree" that students are engaged in their
classes. On the one hand, we have the perception of those in charge who see students as
dissatisfied with their classes, and on the other hand, the professors, who perceive students as
engaged. The result can derive from several situations, such as a local dissatisfaction, relative
to one or more subjects, or situational, relative to non-face-to-face teaching due to the COVID-
19 pandemic.

On the other hand, in the teachers' perception of the fifth dimension, Chart 11 shows
that 41% "partially disagree" about observing students acting autonomously, according to their
age group, as a result of school work. Grisa and Ferrari (2016), when proposing the
reformulation of the political pedagogical project as a strategy to combat school dropout, point
out that the curriculum should contribute to the development of students' intellectual autonomy,
which is perceived by those in charge, and that this should be a collaborative and participatory
work of the school community. Therefore, the results among teachers suggest the need to listen
to these professionals about their expectations regarding the students' autonomy for each year
and a joint analysis of the expectations outlined by the institution within its political pedagogical
project.

Regarding dimension 6, Chart 12 shows that the perception of those responsible for the
infrastructure of remote/semipresential education offered by the school is positive for the
segment, with 81.82% of respondents between "partially agree" (50.91%) and "strongly agree"
(30.91%). It is observed that this result is better perceived in 8th and 9th grade, but stands out
negatively in 7th grade, where 36.36% of respondents are between "strongly disagree" (9.09%)
and "partially disagree" (27.27%).

As for the teachers' view on the sixth dimension, Chart 13 highlights that the perception
of the institutional support received during the period of remote/semipresencial teaching is
perceived positively, with 83.33% between "partially agree" (25%) and "strongly agree"
(58.33%) that the institution offered materials and training so that the quality of the work was
maintained.

Regarding the open question, after the pre-analysis of the data, the information collected
from the respondents in charge was organized into six categories. The same process was used
to organize the data from the teacher respondents into five categories. Table 4 shows the
categories for students' and teachers' guardians and the relative frequency in relation to each
one of them.

Of the categories identified among the guardians, three were already dimensions
considered in the research (monitoring of academic life, evaluation method and methodology)
and the answers served to better describe the respondents' intentions, and the other three are
new. Regarding these categories, regarding the monitoring of academic life, it is observed that
this category unfolds into two subcategories: the feedback given to parents (individually and
through the parents' meeting) and the feedback given to students. As for the assessment method,
the respondents question its relationship with student learning and, as for the methodology,
those responsible suggest practices and strategies to be used in the classroom, either to increase
the dynamics of the classes, or to instigate curiosity or critical sense. Among the unprecedented
categories, regarding the distribution of the workload, this category unfolds into two
subcategories, being them: redistribution for the increase of sports practices and redistribution
for moments of academic support, such as monitorships. About the technology category, the
respondents point to an excessive support in the use of technology by the institution.
Regarding the categories identified among the professors, two were already included in
the research (feedback from the coordination and development of student autonomy) and three
were new. Regarding these categories, the professors point out the need for a structured process
of feedback on their practice and a need to develop student autonomy within the institution's
processes. As for the new categories, the professors indicate the need for the institution to listen
more actively to their proposals, and the need for the faculty to participate in institutional
decisions. In another category, bureaucracy, the need emerges to review which documents are
effectively necessary for the conduction of pedagogical practice and school documentation, and
which are unnecessary.
