Sistema de visualización para la información de deserción y permanencia de estudiantes del proyecto curricular de sistematización de datos

Abstract

The project arises in response to the need to improve the calculations of student dropout and retention in the Academic Coordination of Technology in Data Systematization and Telematics Engineering. The available information is abundant, but lacks organization, which makes calculations difficult. In addition, there are no retention formulas and calculations are performed in Excel, which is not an optimal practice. To address these issues, coordination meetings were held to fully understand the processes involved. Subsequently, research was conducted with experts in the field to create retention formulas with the aim of initiating their implementation. This led to the development of software using the SCRUM methodology, composed of five modules detailed in the document. In addition, additional tools were used to document and execute the environments. The TAM validation carried out with the coordination staff concludes that the system fulfills its function as a Minimum Viable Product. The organization, colors, and graphics are appropriate and understandable for the users who will use the system. Furthermore, the proposed formulas are consistent with the mathematical solution implemented to address dropout.
