Abstract

This article discusses the application of the Questionnaire on Academic Experience (QVA-r) to the students of the Technology Center (CT) of the Federal University of Ceará. Its objective was to diagnose the factors that interfere positively and negatively in the academic trajectory of the students. In its origin, QVA-r was constituted by 5 dimensions: personal, interpersonal, career / vocational, study and institutional; to which, in this research, the student-teacher relationship dimension was added. The instrument is composed of 60 affirmations and 5 possibilities of response consonants with the level of agreement to certain assertive, being therefore configured with likert format. In all, this study obtained 510 respondents distributed among the 13 undergraduate courses of the TC. The obtained data revealed that the students present more difficulties in the personal dimensions and student teacher relationship, since these two dimensions presented the lowest averages: 2.78 and 2.83, respectively. On the other hand, the students obtained higher levels of adaptation in the institutional and career dimensions: 3.51 and 3.48, respectively. The quantity and quality of the collected data provide important information for academic management to plan and carry out actions that can effectively contribute to the improvement of students' academic experiences, which can consequently have an impact on reducing evasion.
