Counseling and Tutoring, tools to reduce desertion at the TSU level

Abstract

Derived from the increase in dropout rates during the year 2020-2021 at the TSU level in Information Technology, the implementation of strategies that effectively address this problem is proposed. The most frequent causes in the students who dropped out of the career were analyzed to determine the elements to consider, these being the lack of identification with the educational program and personal problems. Counseling and tutoring strategies were implemented by the teaching staff and complemented by the support of external specialists in the different areas of the curricular plan, as well as psycho-pedagogical support. The results obtained are favorable by reducing the number of dropouts from 15 to 1 in the next cycle, in addition to strengthening soft skills in students. Additionally, a projection of these strategies is displayed as part of a didactic model for the reinforcement of technical and soft skills in the university community
