ABSTRACT
The objective of this work, which is part of a wider educational innovation project, was to design a concrete plan for university orientation aimed at new students entering university. Based on the needs of the students, previously identified in another study, and through small cooperative work groups and discussion groups of tutors, mentors and guidance experts, the different guidance actions were programmed and distributed over a school year. Subsequently, concrete intervention designs were developed for each of the orientation sessions, with materials that served as a guide and example for the guiding action of tutors and mentors. Following the implementation of the programme in an academic year, the orientation actions and the materials designed were evaluated. 69.5% of students, 88.9% of mentors and 83.3% of tutors agreed or strongly agreed that the activities planned were useful. In terms of materials, 57.2% of students and almost all mentors and tutors agree or strongly agree that they were useful. The results confirm the positive impact of the project, which could also be transferred to other centres.
