Resumen
Se discute el problema de la retención estudiantil a nivel universitario y se presentan competencias específicas del consejero que pueden representar implicaciones importantes para elaborar nuevas estrategias. Se presenta la Teoría de Retención de Vincent Tinto y la Teoría Social Cognitiva de Albert Bandura como marco teórico para el estudio y medición de la auto-eficacia académica. Se sugiere el constructo de la auto-eficacia académica como estrategias para la consejería preventiva y la retención estudiantil.
