“…We must consider that there are many municipalities that lack licensed professionals in areas such as Math, History, Languages, or Chemistry etc., professions that possess less social status and less financial remuneration in the country, whereas there a growing number of students attending HE in courses that were their 2 nd and 3 rd options among the courses desired in the selection process due to the minimum score (INEP, 2018;Lobo & Filho, 2017;Paula, Costa, & Lima, 2019). Thus, attending courses that were not the initial choices might lead to low motivation and less investment by the students in the academic activities of their courses, resulting in lack of interest and less participation in academic life, less perception of efficacy in the curricular disciplines of the course, less vocational identity with the course, and also in higher rates of failure and evasion (Almeida, Guisande, Soares, & Saavedra, 2006;Carvalho et al, 2018;Casanova, Cervero, Nuñez-Pérez, Bernardo-Gutiérrez, & Almeida, 2018;Ferrão & Almeida, 2019;Tinto, 2017).…”
