RODRIGUEZ-URREGO, Marcela. Research about higher education dropout in Colombia 2006-2016. Trends and results. Pedagogía y Saberes [online]. 2019, n.51, pp.49-66. ISSN 0121-2494.

This article collects the most relevant results of a documentary review of 28 researches carried out in Colombia between 2006 and 2016, on desertion in higher education. This revision was the starting point of an investigation on the desertion in the Degree in Community Education of the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional. The results presented in six sections: 1) characterization of the sample in which the reviewed studies are classified according to their methodology and research object; 2) general considerations on the desertion where the conception of desertion is evidenced as the starting point of the studies; 3) conceptualization of the desertion, where the central concepts of the reviewed studies are explicit and the problems associated with a poor conceptualization; 4) associated factors, in which the models of desertion used in the statistical analyzes are reported; 5) it presents in a succinct way the results of the empirical investigations in relation to the desertion in the academic units or sets of them studied; and 6) a final aside with results and reflections referred to the retention, permanence and prevention of the desertion.

Keywords : desertion; retention; higher education; Colombia.
