abstract = {Persistence and dropout are two sides of the same coin. Together with personal and
social factors, issues associated with the quality of teaching provided by universities
determine students’ decision to persist in pursuing their academic degree or, on the
contrary, to drop out of university studies. Our working hypothesis is that the impact
on improving the quality of teaching by considering pedagogical factors which
are currently being researched and experimented with, can improve the overall
persistence rate by reducing the dropout rate. Our work consisted of applying an
instrument designed to diagnose the risk of dropping out of university studies to a
sample of first-year university students at the University of Granada. The instrument
was applied at the beginning of the second semester. Of the 642 pupils surveyed, we
established a risk group of 20 students. In this preliminary study we intend to make a
first approach to the phenomenon of academic failure in Andalusian universities from
the prediction and diagnosis of risk groups and the recommendation of preventive
measures. Among the measures we propose for prevention, we highlight those that
have an impact on pedagogical factors. We propose measures targeting the factors
that predict dropout and the implementation of preventive measures.},
