Tutorial Action in Primary and Secondary Education: A Scientometric Study for the Period 2014 to 2024

Abstract

Education, recognized as an essential human right, faces challenges in providing a comprehensive and adaptive learning environment. Tutorial Action (TA) emerges as a key tool in improving educational processes, with research highlighting its positive influence at all levels of education. Although challenges remain, such as the diversity of conceptualizations and the lack of a unified disciplinary framework, TA stands out as a collaborative and adaptive practice that focuses on the specific needs of students. This research aims to conduct a scientometric and bibliometric analysis using software such as Zotero, Excel, and VosViewer to better understand the current state of TA. Specific objectives are established, such as analyzing scientific production chronologically, identifying prolific authors and working groups, examining the specific topics addressed in TA and evaluating its impact index. It can be concluded that, first, international publications remain limited, indicating that TA research is emerging and requires more attention. In addition, no expert authors in the field were identified. Studies on ECI (European Citizens Initiative) on educational inclusion and integration but do not take a holistic approach. Finally, high-impact journals are receptive to TA research, underlining the importance of promoting quality in this field.
