Abstract

The present study has as general object analyze if the difference of academic performance between quote students and no quotes students at UFBA are reduced during the graduation course. The research was realized based on students information grouped by Dean of Undergraduate Studies (PROGRAD) in a database. To attend the purpose of this study, we use a methodology based on quantitative approach, and over this perspective, was contemplated the documentary and descriptive research. Our analysis were subsidized by use the statistic software IBM SPSS 20. We had as research subjects the University education entrants at the university mentioned in the period of 2005.1 until 2019.2, contemplating a beginning group of 61.579 enrolled. Of these, 26.677 (43,3%) were quotes and 34.902 (56,7%) were no quotes. At the first step, we ascertain the students profile based on socioeconomics variables, sex, race, family income, school origin, etc. Then, to examine the academic achievement, was investigated the academic variation that admit the students punctuations in two moments: beginning grades and finals grades (after resume payment). The results denote that UFBA’s students are based, mostly, by female students, brown and with 23 under age completely. Regarding academic achievement, we watched that quotes students, in general, begins University education with, statistically, less grades than no quotes students. This event was identify in all knowledge area and in 9 between 10 curses. At the end of the University curses, we recognize that no quotes students still showing higher grades with statistic importance ate the most curses areas. On the other side, the observations about the quotes students final grades showed that have elimination of performance differences at IV e V areas – validating the literature – and only had maintenance of inferior performances in 6 of 10 curses. The investigation about the academic performances in quintiles enabled an even more detailed finding: Quotes students has bests students yields at every area. So, in contrast of the begin and final grades, we found that quotes students raise their grades inside the university while between the no quotes students the grades decrease. In other words, even in curses areas that has, statistically, top grades for no quotes students, the quotes students managed to reduce, in every case, the find difference at the begin moment. Furthermore, we still counted that quotes needs more time to end their college curse ate UFBA.
