RESUMO:

The research presents the theme of Permanence in Higher Education in order to identify which characteristics of the profile of students in undergraduate courses - on-site - at UNEMAT - University of the State of Mato Grosso - may be associated with their permanence in the courses. Therefore, it was decided to carry out a study of the profile of students who entered the UNEMAT for Vestibular 2013/2. The analysis was carried out with students from all campuses of the IES (Institution of Higher Education) covering a total of 1,774 students. Because there is a large amount of data, Data Mining (Data Mining) was used to group and classify students, and thus, the k-Means and Decision Tree algorithms were applied, which are composed of a set of calculations based on the statistics, being executed in an automated way. To represent the results, the precepts of descriptive statistics were used to quantify them and display them through graphs and tables. Thus, it was understood that the research has a quantitative character, but also a qualitative one, because when carrying out the process of associating the results obtained with research, in order to understand which permanence factors could be associated with these students, and complement the analysis using the qualitative analysis software WebQDA, the research was classified as quantity - qualitative, as it is a mixed-approach study. The results we presented in this research, provided the understanding of several relevant correlations, such as: whether the period attended by students in high school motivated or not the choice of the course period at the university; whether or not there is a family motivation that could influence the choice of the course; if there is a correlation between income and the need to work during the course, among others. With the development of the research and analysis of the results obtained, it was noticed that they contribute to the understanding of the correlation of the profile with the permanence in the on-site undergraduate courses at UNEMAT, and that the identified profile, whether by period or general, is very relevant, as it enables the adaptation or construction of permanence policies that provide students with access, permanence and completion of the course.
