Abstract

ABSTRACT  

This article provides an updated overview of the system of tutoring in Primary Education and Obligatory Secondary Education established in Spain, based on the analysis of different factors such as: time spent on tasks associated with tutoring, tutorial coverage, obstacles to respond to tutoring needs, the level of satisfaction and recognition of work as a tutor and coordination among tutors. To this end, a descriptive study is carried out through a survey, involving a total of 6658 directors, tutors and counselors. Subjects were selected from a random sampling proportional to the size of the sub-populations of each Autonomous Community. The results show how tutors dedicate more time to those tasks related to transit between levels of education, attention to students with support needs and improvement of coexistence in the center. The professionals surveyed consider that tutoring needs in general are covered, but the tutors consider that their work is valued differently by the management team, teachers, students and families depending on the educational stage.
