La función tutorial en el sistema educativo formal: una posible clasificación de sus modalidades

Resumen

Despite the abundant existing literature on tutoring at different levels of education, there is an absence of consensus regarding relatively unified classifications around these mediations or tutorial functions. For this reason, a possible taxonomy is proposed here that aims to be sufficiently exhaustive and with exclusive categories to be able to cover the different empirical studies on the tutorial function. The analysis of different investigations allowed us to establish the following categories: peer tutors (with the same and different degrees of preparation) and experts (counselors and teachers). The ultimate goal of this article is that it may be useful for subsequent studies that address this topic.
