Abstract

Student retention is a persistent problem in many educational institutions, and we seek to address this issue through the implementation of tutoring programs. To achieve this objective, system dynamics (SD) modeling is proposed as a method. This analytical tool allows simulating and predicting the behavior of a complex system over time, considering the interactions between its components. The main objective of this research is to perform SD modeling to improve student retention through tutoring. It seeks to design more effective and personalized tutoring programs, adapted to the specific needs and challenges of the institution's students. The results obtained show that, in the period between 2022 and 2026, research degrees will be encouraged, reaching 50% participation. This increase is considered a positive indicator that encourages universities to become research protagonists. In conclusion, SD modeling makes it possible to forecast and strategically plan the expected results in terms of student retention. This method provides tools to more effectively address the problem of retention, ensuring the academic success of students and promoting the participation of universities in research.

Abstract

This study seeks to answer the question: how can system dynamics (SD) modeling contribute to the strategic management of information technology (IT) in universities? The objective of the research is to analyze the importance of incorporating IT into university strategic management through the application of SD methodology. To this end, a model was designed that integrates variables related to resource allocation, the quality of the educational process, and the interaction between institutional actors. The methodology made it possible to simulate technological implementation scenarios and examine their effects on operational efficiency and academic performance. The results show that the strategic integration of IT promotes better resource planning, optimizes the interaction between administrative and academic processes, and contributes to raising the quality of teaching. In conclusion, the proposed model demonstrates that SD is an effective tool for anticipating and understanding the internal dynamics of universities, facilitating more efficient strategic management in today's digital context.
