Tutoring, a form of virtual accompaniment

Abstract

Mexico, like the rest of the world, was seriously shaken by the Covid-19 pandemic, however, before this horrible episode, it was necessary to adapt and update our teaching-learning system, in order to be in line with the evolution of time and the new challenges we faced in education, which is why we saw the need to incorporate technological advances that would expand the coverage of education to strengthen the teaching process and student support. There was also the need to create the virtual tutor, whose main objective is to break down barriers and limitations related to physical space and time to establish effective communication. The virtual tutor is in charge of the pedagogical accompaniment of participating teachers during a distance or blended learning course online education tutors must orient their abilities, values, strategies and attitudes in order to generate an effective communication, a more fluent exchange of information and above all a pedagogical immersion that allows to evaluate and examine the stages of the teaching-learning process. Nowadays, the teaching-learning processes have been resized, since both teachers and students have to act in new scenarios typical of the times in which we live, and thus we find new educational modalities based on information technologies.The authors of this work, interested in measuring the effectiveness of the implementation of long distance tutoring, have conducted research on the subject, which gives rise to this book that is addressed to students, parents and all actors involved in education in Mexico, which always benefits our students, because we know the importance of this in the current century, facing every day, new challenges
