SUMMARY:
The object of this study, from a sociological and educational perspective, was the interest
and permanence of students on the degree courses in Visual Arts and Theater at the Arts
Center of the Universidade Regional do Cariri-URCA, located in the Cariri region in the
south of the state of Ceará. Student interest and disinterest, as dynamic bridges between the
subject and their surroundings, are issues that directly affect the permanence of studies in
Higher Education. Bearing in mind that the specificity of each educational context is capable
of revealing its own particularities, the general objective was to investigate the factors that
affect student interest and permanence on these courses, from the point of view of the
sociology of education: a theoretical framework was drawn up which includes the
phenomenology proposed by Husserl and Schütz, ethnography from the perspective of
Garfinkel, Geertz and Goffman and the contributions of ethnomethodology in the context of
Higher Education by Coulon and Paivandi; in order to draw up some historical demarcations,
bibliographical, documentary and legislative research was carried out, as well as
consultations of institutional and news portals, social networks and photographic records;
the field research was based on ethnography in education and included participant
observation, sociobiography (including the researcher's own experience), documentary
research in archives and semi-structured interviews, among other approaches to data analysis
and systematization. The analyses of the interviews were grouped into thematic axes that
covered everything from the processes by which students chose the courses, to society's
relationship with the training on offer, the lack of prestige of the teaching profession, the
socialization processes, and even issues of the institution's physical structure. The results of
the research include: the processes of consciously prolonging training, on the part of students
who saw benefits in maintaining their link with the institution; the revelation of factors that
interfered with student interest and staying in the academic career, such as the context in
which the courses were chosen, the limited curricular offer of the courses, vulnerabilities
(student and institutional), prejudices against training in the arts, major institutional
communication weaknesses (internal and external), events that generated a "break in
rhythm" for students (Covid-19 pandemic, change of building), etc. Suggestions are also
made for actions that could contribute to reversing or minimizing disinterest and dropout,
such as optimizing internal and external communication, improving assistance policies,
structural reform, and maintenance, among other measures. Finally, we believe that the
research has contributed both to the understanding and use of theories and methodologies
for educational research into Higher Education in general, as well as proving significant and
productive for critical qualitative research into the empirical conditions of the student social
world related to teaching and training at the URCA Arts Center.
