In 2012 we carried out a qualitative assessment of this innovation in eight junior high schools (four general and four technical) in four Mexican states. One of the most significant findings was that in two states, the tutorial sessions were adopted as simply another subject to be taught, but in the other two states, the hours were used to turn the ‘group advisor’ – the teacher traditionally responsible for monitoring group discipline and organizing extra- and cocurricular events – into a ‘tutor’.

La reforma educativa de la escuela secundaria en México en 2006 introdujo una innovación: una hora semanal de “Orientación y tutoría” en el plan de estudios y la correspondiente figura del “tutor”. En 2012 realizamos una evaluación cualitativa de dicha innovación en ocho escuelas secundarias (cuatro generales y cuatro técnicas) en cuatro estados del país. Uno de los hallazgos más importantes fue que en dos estados la tutoría fue asumida como otra materia más a enseñar, en cambio, en otros dos estados, la hora fue aprovechada para convertir al “asesor de grupo” –el profesor tradicionalmente encargado de vigilar la disciplina del grupo y responsable de organizar eventos extra y co-curriculares– en tutor. En ello vemos un claro ejemplo de lo que analistas de políticas y reformas educativas señalan: las innovaciones no son simplemente implementadas, ni llegan a una tabula rasa, sino son apropiadas y modificadas por los actores y las instituciones 2016-05-02 2021-06-03T03:08:19Z 2021-06-03T03:08:19Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1136 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6239 spa https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1136/1350 https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/1136/1440 Derechos de autor 2019 Revista Electrónica de Investigación Educativa text/html application/pdf REDIE es una publicación del Instituto de Investigación y Desarrollo Educativo (IIDE).
