PONCE CEBALLOS, Salvador; ACEVES VILLANUEVA, Yaralín  e  AVINA CAMACHO, Issac. The evaluation of university academic tutors: a review of the state of research in Mexican institutions. Acta univ [online]. 2021, vol.31, e3134.  Epub 20-Jun-2022. ISSN 2007-9621.  https://doi.org/10.15174/au.2021.3134.

The partial results coming from a research project that sought to characterize the instruments to evaluate university tutors of Mexican institutions are presented. The results correspond to a review of research on the evaluation of university academic tutors, following a systematized process supported by the content analysis and intersubjective dialogue of participants. Such analysis was based on the structure of the model for the evaluation of tutors’ competencies (García et al., 2016). The results show evidence on the origin, coverage, scope, and purpose of the studies, as well as on the methodologies used. Conclusions point out the importance of diversifying the ways of evaluating, the relevance of the evaluation objectives, and the use of valid and reliable instruments, along with the documenting of the design of evaluation processes. It is recommended to advance in national studies that allow to broaden the panorama of what happens in Mexican institutions in this area.
