GARCIA LOPEZ, Ramona Imelda; CUEVAS SALAZAR, Omar; VALES GARCIA, Javier José  and  CRUZ MEDINA, Isidro Roberto. Impact of Mentoring Program in the academic performance of students from the Technological Institute of Sonora. REDIE [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.1, pp.106-121. ISSN 1607-4041.

This research evaluates the impact of tutorship in academic achievement in the Institute. A data of 1812 first semester students who took tutorship were analyzed. It was found that gender, tutorship and gpa in high school is significantly related with academic success. Results of logistic regression indicate that the odds for a student who has tutorship fails is less than a half for a student of the same gender without tutorship. This model indicates also that a difference of one point in gpa in high school has more influence in student success that tutorship.

Keywords : Tutorship; educative orientation; academic achievement; quantitative evaluation; academic failure.
