Análisis de los determinantes socioeconómicos que inciden en la deserción estudiantil área de salud UCACUE sede Azogues, período 2014-2018

Abstract

This study identified the socioeconomic determinants and their impact on student dropout focused on students from UCACUE Azogues, who belong to the healthcare area during the period 2014 – 2018. A methodology with a nonexperimental quantitative longitudinal approach was assumed and through the

explained variable of dummy type, a binary Logit econometric model was built

in order to analyze whether the socioeconomic variables have an impact on

this

phenomenon. To obtain consistent results, first, the coefficients were calculated to determine the significance and relationship between the dependent and independent variables, then the model was adjusted by eliminating the insignificant variables to obtain a parsimonious model. With the respective results and analysis, it is concluded that, for this period, the socioeconomic determinants that have a significant impact on dropout are: household income, study resources, school, grade point average, and career.
