Abstract
Introduction. the student dropout at university level
continues being a current problem that unleashes
financial loss besides social and familiar ones,
when academic formation goals are not achieved,
which assures skillful workers for the current labor
world. Objective. To analyze the permanence and
dropout versus self-sufficiency of university students
in the quality educative framework. Materials and
methods. Population was composed by university
students in the city of Barranquilla, Colombia. The
registry of 2015-1 term, a sample of 322 students,
from which 195 were active and 127 on dropout was
taken. The work was descriptive and transactional of
non-experimental design. Data collection instrument
was the General Self-sufficiency scale (GSS),
supported by the institutional information system
of the Admissions and Registration Department.
Results. It was proved that there is not a significant
correlation between self-efficiency and permanence,
as neither between self-sufficiency or dropout;
however, a significant finding was to prove that the
average of dropout´s self-sufficient students resulted
greater than the one of students staying in the
institution. Conclusions. It was obtained that there
is not a significant correlation among self-efficiency,
dropout, and permanence variables.
