“University tutorial has the role of accompaniment, orientation and support to students in their process of learning personalization and of the development of competences, both at personal and professional level, during their career, with the dynamic horizon of the life project, a personal and professional model”.
University tutorial should assume changes as new ways of planning time, setting more rigorous goals, being integrated in the teaching-learning process. For that reason, the work in class is a supplement and it is carried out in diverse spaces and by different agents. Tutorial action should be established from guidelines that allow their clear definition in four relevant aspects.
First, adopted as a guide of incorporation to the university environment (first courses), where the tutor will be the closest person to students in this adaptation to know their doubts from their beginning to the university environment.
Second, the academic support (teach to study, motivate, inform about the course in question, etc.), avoiding the desertion or abandonment of studies due to academic or vocational problems. The tutor is not the teacher of the course, but is the person who can give orientation based on the courses designated.
Third, orientation and attention to personal difficulties (develop autonomy and responsibility, inform about the rights and obligations, channel their demands and concerns, instruct how to resolve conflicts or impediments, etc.) through dialog and the close relationship with the tutor appointed
Last one, professional orientation (probable professional outings, inform about the courses, seminars, congresses, updated bibliographies, etc.), keeping a more general vision and the vision of the important work and function of this tutorial action and the impact it can have if each tutor.
El tutor apoya al estudiante a lo largo de su proceso educativo, estando cerca, apoyándolo en lo que se pueda y proporcionándole información.
