Diagnosis of the factors involved in apathy in students in industrial engineering

The present research presents the results obtained from a study carried out at a university located in Mexico City, regarding apathy. A 95% reliability and 5% error were used in the study. For the analysis a questionnaire was adapted, this instrument was proposed by Lopez and Sánchez (2010). As a result, the objective of research was achieved, the first cause of apathy in young people is the content of the subject and the teacher who teaches his subject. In addition, it was reached to know that students have more apathy are those of algebra and probability and statistics. In addition, approximately 35% of the students indicated that they chose to study this course because they had not stayed in the university they wanted.


INTRODUCTION
The apathy school implies lack of interest in learning.The student is physically present in the classroom, but his / her mind is blank or focused on his / her own concerns, or aimed at disturbing the development of the class, of which he / she feels alien and uncomfortable (Fingermann, 2010).
Apathy is thus defined as the impassibility of mood and neglect, indolence, lack of vigor or energy (Abbagnano, 2004).For example, the apathy of Mexican society and its lack of interest in political issues when it comes to demanding transparency in corruption cases, limits young people to organize @ IJTSRD | Available Online @ www.ijtsrd.com| Special Issue Publication | November The present research presents the results obtained from a study carried out at a university located in y, regarding apathy.A 95% reliability and 5% error were used in the study.For the analysis a questionnaire was adapted, this instrument was proposed by Lopez and Sánchez (2010).As a result, the objective of research was achieved, the first cause hy in young people is the content of the subject and the teacher who teaches his subject.In addition, it was reached to know that students have more apathy are those of algebra and probability and statistics.In addition, approximately 35% of the students surveyed indicated that they chose to study this course because they had not stayed in the university they wanted.

t in the classroom, but his / her mind is blank or focused on his / her own concerns, or aimed at disturbing the development of the class, of which he / she feels alien and Apathy is thus defined as the impassibility of the mood and neglect, indolence, lack of vigor or energy (Abbagnano, 2004).For example, the apathy of Mexican society and its lack of interest in political issues when it comes to demanding transparency in corruption cases, limits young people to organize to undertake demonstrations in Spain, France and Brussels (Ceballos, 2011).Fairbanks (1998) indicate that it is a quantitative reduction of voluntary behaviors, which consists of an emotional and cognitive deficit that can arise and be reversed from internal (self-(heteroactivation) stimuli.In addition, and Cabrera, Peral, y Barajas (2012) argue that apathy is a behavioral syndrome or a dysfunction of the process that originates the actions induced stimuli or by their own; therefore, apathy occurs when the systems that generate and control the will are altered.Lurgal (1976) mentions that students' apathy or lack of interest in studies may be due to the absence of motivation, which may al negative effect of the proposed models and even a relation to the lack of an explicit link between the models social and school contents.mentions that apathy can be defined as a state of indifference or suppression.Panimboza mentions that apathy or school disinterest is the absence of passion to learn or acquire knowledge.Sánchez (2013) mentions that the apathy of the upper level student usually presents for various causes and in various areas, but generally where we rejection, apathy, disinterest is in the tasks that involve investigating.Teens often use discussion as a way of practicing new skills to explore the nuances of a topic and present a case from other points of view, which is why their attitude may be questioned, taking In addition, Marín (1996) (2012) argue that apathy is a behavioral syndrome or a dysfunction of the process that originates the actions induced by external stimuli or by their own; therefore, apathy occurs when the systems that generate and control the will are ) mentions that students' apathy or lack of interest in studies may be due to the absence of motivation, which may also be the negative effect of the proposed models and even a relation to the lack of an explicit link between the models social and school contents.Rivera (2007) mentions that apathy can be defined as a state of indifference or suppression.Panimboza (2015) mentions that apathy or school disinterest is the absence of passion to learn or acquire knowledge.Sánchez (2013) mentions that the apathy of the upperlevel student usually presents for various causes and in various areas, but generally where we find a greater rejection, apathy, disinterest is in the tasks that Teens often use discussion as a way of practicing new skills to explore the nuances of a topic and present a case from other points of view, ude may be questioned, taking it as something negative in the school setting instead of a possibility to generate interest and challenges in them that encourage their teaching-learning process.
Another factor that has been perceived today is that students who enter college, many of them do not know the career they will study, are influenced by their peers to choose a career or their parents choose what their children will study in the university.college.A predominant factor in Mexico City, is that many students fail to enter the university that they want.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE
Diagnose the factors involved in the apathy of industrial engineering students.

Specific objectives
 Understand the contextualization of apathy in school.
 Know relevant facts about the causes and consequences of apathy in school.
 Calculate the representative sample using 95% confidence.
 Adapt the questionnaire proposed by Lopez and Sánchez (2010) in the representative sample.
 Analyze the results obtained from the questionnaires applied to the representative sample.
 Evaluate the results obtained from the analysis of the questionnaires.

JUSTIFICATION
In the investigation, apathy was taken as the object of study in the young people who have just entered the industrial engineering career, due to the fact that they have noticed a great lack of interest in learning, it has also been possible to see desertion rates, which is seen reflected in low academic performance from the first semester of admission to their study.The student is apathetic to any circumstance in the classroom, does not make the least effort to increase his grades, to study subjects assigned, to participate in activities.This research aims to reach the causes that originate this phenomenon, and with this to make known to university teachers the causes of the apathy of young first-come.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
One of the main factors that shows the society and that is the cause of the apathy is the personal demotivation which causes a disinterest to participate in the joint activities.Flores, González and Rodríguez (2013) point out that anxiety in classes and especially in mathematics is everywhere, taking into account all the countries of the Organization for Economic Growth and Development (OECD), in half of children age 15 and over 60% of girls are concerned that they will find their math classes very difficult and will get low grades.
Pérez (S / A) points out that higher education in Mexico faces very important challenges: The inequality between supply and demand, lack of resources in a large part of the population to access private education, low educational level in the upper middle level, socioeconomic conditions, among many others, have determined a difficult panorama for the young people of our country.
According to Cabrera, Peral and Barajas (2012) indicate that the concept of apathy was more accepted in popular culture after the First World War, being described as one of several forms of war neurosis characterized by a feeling of emotional numbness and indifference to normal social interaction.Valentini (2008) points out that apathy in school settings is not a static phenomenon to be studied in a laboratory; has a dynamic destiny: it is born, develops, leads to disinterest, disinterest engenders boredom and it shows many faces: passivity, inertia, sadness and even anger and from there begins to approach the other pole of apathy: rebel aggression.Panimboza (2015) points out that school disinterest is a fact that comes 50 years ago.In spite of the technological advance, the neglect of learning is a social factor that has increased.Poor performance is one of the factors that is caused by the poor qualifications that adolescents have obtained.
The analysis of apathy by studies necessarily leads to absenteeism in general, absence may be due to factors due to socioeconomic problems (for example, lack of money for transport, clothes, shoes, etc.), so that they take care of their other little brothers and sisters to help with household chores or illness (Heredia, 2000).
According to data from INEGI (2015), school attendance among young people aged 14 to 24 in 2000 was 33%, while for the year 2015 it was 44%.The difference by sex is slightly more than one percentage point with 45% of men and 44% of women.Tinto (2001)

METHODOLOGY Instrument
The instrument of data collection that was used was the one proposed by Lopez and Sánchez (2010).Once this instrument was analyzed, a new one was adapted, which consisted of only 9 questions.

Population and sample
The research was carried out in a university located in the Iztapalapa delegation.We studied 3 groups of the first semester of the Industrial Engineering career, the population was a total of 65 students.The sample of the student population was determined.The formula used was the one proposed by Dr. Bolaños (2012), this formula is used for finite or known populations.The formula is as follows: Where: n: sample size N: population size Z: value corresponding to the gauss distribution, for the investigation Z = 95%, which is equal to 1.96.p: expected prevalence of the parameter to be evaluated, if not known (p = 0.5), which makes the sample size larger.q: 1 -p (if p = 70%, q = 30%) i: error expected to be committed if it is 5%, i = 0.05 The development of the formula is as follows: The study indicated that of a population of 65 students, using 95% confidence and 5% of error allowed, the study will require 56 students.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
As a first observation, Table 1 is shown, this table represents the number of students evaluated by age and their gender.The results show that the age that proliferated between the representative sample was 15 and 20 years.Because it is the first semester, this age is the average age at which a student enters college.Also, the gender that excelled more was the feminine gender.For the first question of the adapted questionnaire, Figure 1 represents an example of the results obtained.The study indicated that of a population of 65 students, using 95% confidence and 5% of error allowed, the study will require 56 students.

The previous figure shows that, according of them feel on an apathy scale of 8.In addition, there are students who are on the apathy scale of 6 and 7.It is worrying to note that the scale of 1 to 10 in apathy, of the 56 student be below the 5 scale.

CONCLUSIONS
The objective of the research was achieved; objective was the diagnosis of the factors that intervene in the apathy of the students of industrial engineering of the first semester.Also in the study was learned that the first cause of apathy in young   The previous figure shows that, according to the representative sample of students the majority of them feel on an apathy scale of 8.In addition, there are students who are on the apathy of 6 and 7.It is worrying to note that the scale of 1 to 10 in apathy, of the 56 students surveyed, only 8 students were found to achieved; this objective was the diagnosis of the factors that intervene in the apathy of the students of industrial engineering of the first semester.Also in the study was learned that the first cause of apathy in young people is the content of the subject and th who teaches his subject.In addition, in the investigation it was obtained to know that the students have more apathy in the subjects of algebra and probability and statistic.This is an alarming situation, since these two subjects are pillars fo within the curriculum and, above all, are matters that to the representative sample of students surveyed, the vast majority of them feel on an apathy scale of 8.In addition, there are students who are on the apathy scale of 6 and 7.It is s surveyed, only 8 students were found to people is the content of the subject and the teacher who teaches his subject.In addition, in the investigation it was obtained to know that the students have more apathy in the subjects of algebra and probability and statistic.This is an alarming situation, since these two subjects are pillars for future subjects within the curriculum and, above all, are matters that an industrial engineer must know and master.In addition, approximately 35% of the students surveyed indicated that they chose to study this course because they had not stayed in the university they wanted.
For future research, it is suggested that a study of the contents of all the subjects of new entry be carried out, in order to revise its content, to update said content to be comprehensible, measurable and competitive.Likewise, it is suggested to review the profile of the teachers who teach the subjects of new admission and to propose to the best ones of their area so that these teachers love the students and can understand and know the industrial engineering.
