Resumen

The impact of COVID 19 on university higher education has been noticeable in the transformation of the operating system from face-to-face education to distance education. This mixed-approach research sought to determine the relationship between university academic tutoring and vocational training, as well as to describe and analyze the work conducted in academic tutoring at a public university in the Faculty of Business Sciences, Agrarian Sciences and Engineering to know the strategies they execute and elaborate proposals. A survey was administered to a random sample of 227 tutors. Then, 25 tutors and 25 tutors were selected, applying a semi-structured interview. The results indicate that there is a high positive correlation between academic tutoring and vocational training (0,728) and between academic tutoring and the dimensions: personal (0,712); professional (0,671) and academic (0,679). It is concluded that this should follow an organizational process that allows individual and group orientation activities, as well as co-referral when specialized help is required. The tutors must meet certain qualities that allow an empathic approach with the tutors; and academic management should provide continuous training for tutors to improve their strategies.
