Tutoring during the elaboration of Degree’s and Master’s Theses: analysis of utility and satisfaction as perceived by students
Abstract
The changes introduced by the creation of
the European Higher Education Area and
the ambitious demands of globalization
and knowledge society mean that guidance
must be pursued as a fundamental aim.
The purpose of the present study is to explore
use and satisfaction rates regarding
university tutoring, specifically during
the elaboration of Master’s and Degree’s
theses by a sample of Graduates of the
degrees and masters that are given in the
Faculty of Sciences of the Education of the
Universidade da Coruña. For this purpose,
a descriptive study is carried out, using the
survey technique, applying an instrument
developed ad hoc for the aforementioned
process. The results have allowed us to
know and describe the profiles of students
during their formative period, to verify
that their perception of the usefulness of
tutoring is optimal and finally to determine
that their level of satisfaction with such
tutoring is high. The analysis carried out
on the state of the question together with
the results obtained show the need to continue
advancing in this subject, since there
are aspects linked to the challenges of
the teaching profession still to be pursued
such as the definition of the ideal tutoring
profile
