Aproximación al perfil formativo del orientador profesional en la blogosfera

Abstract

The expansion of the Internet and web 2.0 in all social spheres makes blogs a tool of diffusion, communication and debate with many possibilities in the development and improvement of the guiding process. This paper analyzes the counseloŕs training profile in the blogosphere, answering questions about who they are, what they offer or what necessary professional development they have. This research combines content analysis of 136 blogs representative of the population and an interview applied to 65 bloggers. We use descriptive and inferential statistics and alternate the use of the statistical program SPSS version 23 and ATLAS.ti 7. The results show a significant heterogeneity in bloggers' initial and continuous training and in their professional experience and the content they publish. Among their training needs, the constant updating of technical competences and new trends in vocational guidance stands out. These results point to the importance of integrating online and offline realities in a guiding process in order to achieve a more effective, current and broader intervention.
