abstract = {Student absenteeism in higher education has become a growing concern due to its potential impact on academic performance
and professional development. This study aims to assess the prevalence of absenteeism in the Faculty of Medicine at the
University of Granada (Spain) and to explore the perceptions of both students and professors regarding this issue. Attendance
was recorded at two diferent points during the semester, and surveys were conducted among faculty members and students
to gather qualitative and quantitative data. Results showed a signifcant decrease in attendance over the semester. Faculty
members identifed lack of student engagement and large class sizes as key issues, while students highlighted poor teaching
methodologies and excessive workload as the main reasons for non-attendance. The fndings suggest that improving teaching
methods, increasing student engagement, and restructuring class formats may help to reduce absenteeism.},
