| Descripción: | This study aimed to explore what factors are associated with the educational climate of the National University of Costa Rica based on the perception of students who dropped out of the institution during the period 2017-2020. A quantitative, exploratory, non-experimental, and correlational approach was used. Through the application of an exploratory factor analysis, this approach allowed for the identification of variables related to the educational climate before dropping out of the university. These variables are grouped into five factors: curriculum organization (course methodology, degree program expectations, the faculty teaching courses); student commitment (attendance at classes, degree of compliance with the assigned courses, attendance at consultation hours); material conditions for studying (state of the electronic devices, Internet connection, physical space for academic work); the interaction in the university context (services provided by the university, relationship with administrative staff and the start of classes) and, finally, the educational interaction (interaction with peers and teachers). The study reveals that the educational climate is a multidimensional construct that the exploratory factor analysis subdivided into five factors. These factors can be the basis for implementing measures to enhance academic interactions and student retention conditions. |
