La tutoría académica en la enseñanza universitaria: El caso de la Udelar

Abstract

This article deals with the figure of ‘tutorial’ as it is classically used in university contexts, which is different from other tutorials of a pedagogical nature. The study is about the ‘academic tutorial’ as a result of the production of knowledge as an exclusive effect of cognizance and the ties between the tutor and the student. A diachronic study was carried out in order to search for the antecedents of this figure. A synchronic study was also carried out, based on documents and interviews to participants in tutorials at the Universidad de la República (UdelaR).
