DROPOUT AND RETENTION, INDICATORS OF EDUCATIONAL QUALITY IN ENGINEERING CAREERS FROM COMPETENCE TRAINING: THE PANI MODEL

Abstract

The project is developed within the scope of the Institute for Research in Technology and Education IIT&E of the Faculty of Engineering - UNLZ. Among the objectives of the Institute are the interest in contributing to the improvement of teaching and the formation of graduation skills, particularly in scientific and technological careers, through the incorporation of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the design of objects. Learning. This paper describes the actions carried out during the year 2023 with respect to incoming students. In this sense, the Accompaniment and Leveling Program (PANI) aims to accompany the first steps of students in university life, as well as to level the deficits that are observed in mathematics. The PANI is made up of 5 workshops that cover the following contents: Real numbers; Trigonometric relations; polynomials and rational expressions; Equations, inequalities and systems of equations; Linear function and quadratic function. Two editions of the PANI have been held this year, in February and June respectively, with a total of 550 passes. There results have been studied taking into account the errors made, as well as the profiles of the entrants.
