RUBIO, Perla Patricia  and  MARTINEZ, José Francisco. Tutorial action from the point of view of the Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi students. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.138, pp.28-45. ISSN 0185-2698.

This study constitutes a qualitative approach to investigate the rationality axes on which the students enrolled at the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí (UASLP) build their conceptions and expectations, and also analyze the implications of tutorial action put into practice within the institution. The results show that the students use to conceptualize the tutorial action in five domains: a) academic and professional; b) schooling and learning; c) integration and continuance; d) vocational and e) personal and social development. As regards to the implications they refer that the most important operative problems use to be related to the tutor's organization and his/her disposition to carry out the tutor's activities; these inadequacies, usually enshrined in the practice of tutorship, are the sign of the students concern and their wish to achieve transformation in the practice, above all for what regards to its organization.

Keywords : Tutorial teaching; Higher education; Program assessment; Perception; Student's expectation; Detection of requirements.
