We aim to understand what are, in the perspective of undergraduate students in Physics Teaching degree, the causes and possible solutions to combat the dropout rate of the course. For this, we were grounded on the theoretical model of Tinto and literatur considerations on the causes and the possible action strategies against dropout in Higher Education. Thirty-three students participated in the research by answering an open-answer questionnaire. The analyses, done through Content Analysis, indicated that most participants had already thought about dropping out, especially those who entered without or with reduced levels of commitment to the course. Learning difficulties and a greater sensitivity of the teachers and the institution towards them were pointed, respectively, as the main reason for dropping out and the best way to combat it.
Resumo Objetivamos compreender quais são, na visão de licenciandos em Física, as causas e as possíveis soluções para a evasão no curso. Para isso, tomamos como base o modelo teórico de Tinto e considerações da literatura sobre as causas e as possíveis estratégias de ação contra a evasão no Ensino Superior. As informações de pesquisa foram coletadas junto a 33 estudantes por meio de um questionário dissertativo. As análises, realizadas por meio da Análise de Conteúdo, indicaram que a maioria dos participantes já havia pensado em evadir, especialmente aqueles que ingressaram sem ou com níveis reduzidos de compromisso com o curso. As dificuldades de aprendizagem e uma maior sensibilidade dos docentes e da instituição em relação a elas foram apontadas, respectivamente, como o principal motivo para a evasão no curso e a melhor maneira de combatê-la.
