Abstract

School dropout is the absence or abandonment of students to their school environment, this is a multicausal phenomenon that encompasses intrinsic factors of the individual, as well as other social factors related to family, economic and educational systems. This article describes the development of a scale on teacher perception about school dropout in secondary educational institutions through a cross-sectional, quantitative, psychometric study, 137 teachers answered the survey on perception. The reliability analyzes show that the scale has an acceptable level (Cronbach's alpha = 0.73) and the exploratory factor analyzes using Kaiser Meyer Olkin (KMO) = 0.779. The Bartlett test of sphericity obtained X ^ 2 = 799.979 with df = 120 and a p-value = 0.000.
