SANTOS TRETO, Yoel et al. Factors associated to school failure in medicine students at the University Policlinic Vicente Ponce Carrasco. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.2. ISSN 1684-1824.

We developed an investigation with the objective of characterizing factors associated to school failure in 54 medicine Chinese students in the second group at the University Policlinic Vicente Ponce Carrasco in the New Program of Physician's Formation, Jagüey Grande Pole, in the matter Human Morphophysiology I. To carry out this study we used qualitative-quantitative investigative models. School failure in students was characterized, identifying external factors as lack of motivation and interest in the specialty they study, poor motivation in developing school activities, studying alone, insufficient time dedicated to independent study, and the usage of reading and memorization as unique study technique. Among the internal factors: sociodemographic precedence, inadequate orientation of the teachers during the development of school activities, insufficient orientation and control of the school tasks by the teacher, and consequently their little utility for students.
