在大学本科教育的背景下，Tinto&Cullen提出的学生-学校整合模型，后来经过改进，经常被用来解释辍学/坚持的过程，甚至预测这样的事件。本文探讨了Tinto模型自提出以来的演变，并对文献中发现的模型版本进行了分析。所进行的分析的重点是如何使该模型具有可操作性，以便大学能够将其作为预测辍学的学术计算支持系统来实施。针对其未来的计算实现，分析认为该模型缺乏对所使用的一些概念的准确定义，对所涉及的变量和过程的松散说明，并质疑对学生所经历的社会融合方面的极端重要性，以解释辍学。
In the context of university higher education at undergraduate level, the model of student-institution integration, proposed by Tinto & Cullen and later refined in some of its parts, has often been used to explain the process of dropout/persevere, and even to anticipate such events. This paper approaches the evolution of the Tinto's model since its proposal and reports an analysis of versions of the model found in the literature. The conducted analysis was directed with focus on how to make the model operational, in a way that it could be implemented by universities as an academic computational support system for predicting dropouts. Aiming at its future computational implementation, the analysis approaches the model in relation to its lack of precise definitions of some concepts employed, the loose specification of both, variables and processes involved and questions the extreme importance given to the social integration aspect experienced by students, for explaining dropout.
