Description
Abstract
La tutoría universitaria es un proceso central en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior
(EEES), en sus distintas modalidades y con sus distintas estrategias. Actualmente, en la educa-
ción superior coexiste una transformación basada en una renovada visión del pasado donde la
atención personalizada ocupa un lugar privilegiado, con la finalidad de fomentar el desarrollo
integral de los estudiantes, favoreciendo el aprendizaje y atenuando el abandono, y donde la
tutoría universitaria tiene un papel decisivo. El presente estudio se centra en la evaluación de
un programa de tutoría formativa en tres grados de la Universidad de Padua. Se realiza una
verificación de la eficacia a través de la creación de un grupo control ex-post, compuesto por los
sujetos no-tratados, cuyas características eran similares a las de los sujetos tratados. Se utiliza
un procedimiento de propensity score matching. Los resultados muestran que la verificación
contra-factual de las hipótesis de investigación acerca de la eficacia del programa da resultados
significativos, en relación al abandono, se redujo a la mitad y el rendimiento académico mejoró,
sobre todo en términos de resultados de aprendizaje.
University tutoring is a central process in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), with its different modalities and strategies. Nowadays, in post-secondary education a new attention to customer-tailored educational actions coexists with the goal to promote a whole- person development of students in order to improve learning and contrast drop-outs: univer- sity tutoring plays a crucial role in this new vision. The study is focused on the evaluation of a programme of formative tutoring that involved three first-cycle degree courses at the University of Padova. The hypothesis of effectiveness, in particular, was verified by ex-post selection of a control group, composed of the most similar not treated students to treated ones. The selection of the control group members was carried out by propensity score matching, a statistical technique that predicts the probability to receive the treatment accounting for a set of students observable characteristics. This counter-factual causal analysis gave significant results: the drop-out rate fell by half, and performance increased in terms of learning outcomes.
