Importance of tutoring for the success of the final degree project

Abstract

The present work has tried to know the opinion that the students who study the Final Degree Project (TFG) have in the University of Jaén and in the SAFA University Center of Úbeda, in the Degree of Infant Education, since in this work they develop competencies necessary for the achievement of the degree, combining theory, practice and research. For this, a questionnaire has been designed that meets the necessary reliability and validity and is structured in two large blocks; On the one hand, it was intended to characterize the participants in this research (gender, age, enrollment university, university entrance note and average grade in the Degree) and a second, consisting of 33 items about the students’ perceptions on Final Degree Work in Early Childhood Education. It has been structured in four dimensions that are: TFG teaching-learning process (4 items), Tutoring (11 items), Evaluation (9 items) and Applicability of the TFG (9 items), making it possible to take the conclusions into consideration and put clearly, among other issues, the importance of aspects such as the teaching-learning process, ICT or Tutoring. In the conclusions we have detected that the Infant Education students especially value the tutoring, but it is necessary that the university professors redefine their role and be aware of the importance of this subject and that it develops in the interest of the competences with which it originated.
