Facilitating and harding factors to the construction of the TCC

Abstract

The present study had as general objective to investigate the elements related to the elaboration of the Conclusion Work in Graduation Courses of the Floriano campus of the Federal University of Piauí. As a data collection instrument, a questionnaire was applied via Google Forms to the students who completed the TCC of the Bachelor of Business Administration, Licenciatura in Biological Sciences, Licenciatura in Pedagogy and Licenciatura in Nursing in the 2019.1 academic period. The purpose of the study was to identify which factors facilitate or hinder the process of building monographic work, a mandatory step in all the courses mentioned. The interviewees reported that what facilitated the most were the teacher's empathy, the availability of the advisor, the freedom to choose the topic, the mastery of the topic by the advisor and the support of family and friends. The facts that made it more difficult were the change of advisor along the way, the theme chosen by the advisor, the library collection, the time and the direct and indirect cost for preparing the TCC.
