Resumen
PALACIO SPROCKEL, Lilia Esther; VARGAS BABILONIA, Javier Dionicio y MONROY TORO, Stella Lucila. Bibliometric Analysis of Studies on Socioeconomic Factors in University Students. Educ. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.3, pp.355-375. Epub 03-Mayo-2021. ISSN 0123-1294. https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2020.23.3.1.
The article introduces an update of the socioeconomic variables related to university dropping out. The meta-analysis method is used based on the systematic review of scientific studies on the subject. Of 143 articles published during 2005-2019, 71 were selected that fully met the sample selection criteria: directly related to the subject matter, published in education journals in Spanish, and indexed in specialized open-access databases. This study corroborates the effect of socioeconomic and sociodemographic variables as causes of poor academic performance and consequent dropping out; a predominant socioeconomic factor turned out to be the education level of the father or mother. It also demonstrates that the purpose of research into socioeconomic variables is mainly oriented towards the formulation of university policies to reduce dropping out.
