Abstract

ABSTRACT EXACTAMENTE COMO SE TRADUJO The objective of this research was to analyze the socioeconomic level of the students of the Faculty of Sciences in the academic period April - September 2021; Through a survey conducted virtually on the Microsoft Forms platform, information was obtained from the students of the Faculty of Sciences. Using the simple random sampling technique, a representative sample of the population was obtained, which was 345 students among the careers of the Faculty. The study was carried out with 36 variables previously selected by the Directorate of Student Welfare. With the database obtained, a descriptive analysis of the variables to be studied was carried out to determine the socioeconomic level of each of the students. Applying the method of analysis of nonlinear principal components (PRINCALS) it was possible to obtain the values of the unit costs of each quintile to proceed to predict what the impact would be if the collection of the tuition was made according to the socioeconomic level of the students, since currently the value of the cost per credit depends on the type of university from which the student comes. According to the research carried out, the results obtained are: 76.2% of the surveyed students deserve a scholarship, 57.39% of the students are located in quintile 3. Through the predictions made, it was obtained that the values to be paid regarding the school from which the student comes are high, while according to the value that would pay depending on the quintile to which each student belongs, the tuition charge is moderate. It is concluded that most of the surveyed students have average incomes. Pre-survey training is recommended for students as many of them are not aware of the information they provide.
