Um estudo sobre os resultados acadêmicos dos alunos da UFS beneficiados pelo Programa Nacional de Assistência Estudantil (PNAES) nos anos de 2010, 2015 e 2017

Abstract

This work aims to analyze evidence that the academic performance of students benefited by the National Student Assistance Program (PNAES) at the Federal University of Sergipe is superior to students who do not participate in these programs. During the research, it was found that students who receive assistance from government programs had superior performances in the Average Conclusion (MC), General Weighted Average (MGP), Efficiency Index in Hours Load (IECH) and in the Efficiency Index in Teaching Periods (IEPL) when compared to students who are not included in the programs. Descriptive analysis was the statistical method used in the elaboration of the panorama of the Cohorts of freshmen in 2010, 2015 and 2017, and in the investigation of the possible causes of the dropout of UFS students, as well as in the profiling of the student assisted by the program. The regression model was the methodological process applied to compare the performance of students benefiting from the PNAES with other non-assisted students.
