“…By putting emphasis on tutors in this manner, the perceived undervaluing of tutors, as described by J. Tait (2004) and Lentell (1994;, has been counterbalanced since they are the focus of this investigation. The unfolding research design has been found to be particularly valuable, since it allows for flexibility and develops and maintains contact with tutor participants, giving them feedback on the research process and findings from each stage.…”

Na UKOU, 69% dos alunos afirmaram que a sua participação tinha como objetivo o desenvolvimento pessoal, não estando vinculada à vocação ou à obtenção de um título, tornando-os menos susceptíveis às ações institucionais para aumentar a retenção (TAIT, 2004). Além disso, a vinculação da evasão à não aquisição de um título reforça o pressuposto de que só há um ganho de aprendizagem quando o aluno obtém um certificado (HUGHES et alli, 2005) e que uma taxa baixa de diplomação traria prejuízos econômicos para o aluno e o país (SAUVE et al, 2005).…”
