On April 16th, 12:30 p.m., A seminar dedicated to the presentation and discussion of the main results of the study will be held in Auditorium 2 at Quelhas. “Indicators of School (In)Success: Old Questions, New Challenges”.
The session will be led by Professor Carlos Farinha Rodrigues (ISEG), author of the study, and will be a time for joint analysis and reflection on the conclusions reached and the challenges they pose in the current educational context.
Summary: The aim of this study is to update previous analyses on academic failure in the 1st cycle at ISEG, developed within the scope of the Observatory for Pedagogical Action and Innovation. To this end, a longitudinal analysis is carried out of the administrative records relating to the number of students enrolled, assessed and passed in the different curricular units, covering the period between the academic years 2015/2016 and 2023/2024.
The analysis is structured around three key indicators - non-participation rate in assessment, effective failure rate and school failure rate - which are used to identify and quantify persistent patterns of failure. These indicators are disaggregated by course, department, curricular year and type of curricular unit, making it possible to isolate critical factors and structural heterogeneities in academic performance.
In addition, the study seeks to evaluate the impact of the measures implemented in recent years to mitigate school failure, contributing to a more in-depth understanding of their effectiveness and to inform future interventions in the context of higher education.
The seminar will be delivered in Portuguese.
We are counting on your presence to make the session more dynamic and to share experiences! A light meal will be served.
Free admission.
