Repitencia Estudiantil en la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana

Student repetition is a multi-sectoral and multifactorial problem with impacts in different areas such as personal, family, academic, social, economic, among others; they also respond to different or simultaneous temporalities, from which some causes emerge, which by their characteristics certainly distance the possibility and ability of the university to provide a comprehensive and definitive solution. Due to the importance and incidence of these issues, the Superior Council, as the highest university governing body, requested the different university actors to study and formulate proposals and alternative solutions that contribute to improve the current reality. The co-authors, students and teachers from various approaches and conceptions about student repetition, interpret and seek alternatives for future improvement based on the data obtained. The research addresses different approaches and approaches to the phenomenon of grade repetition, in the constant eagerness to understand, explain and formulate alternatives for progress, fundamentally based on the context experienced by the Salesian university student.
