the figure of the teacher-tutor so that the student receives sufficient
support to contribute to his or her integral development.(Barrón,
2008) To this end, it is very important for the tutor-teacher to have
the necessary competencies that allow him/her to have a positive
relationship with his/her students, as explained in the Framework for
Good Teaching Performance. (Ministerio de Educación, 2012)
From this perspective, higher education institutions have moved to
the competency-based educational model, considering that it
responds better to the demands of a society that is increasingly aware
of assuming educational change. It is not only about competencies
that the teacher and the student should possess, but also about
competencies that the tutor teacher should possess. (Salgado et al.,
2020). However, upon inquiry, evidence was found that many
teachers who provide tutoring in schools have a deficit in the basic
competencies needed to provide this service.
Studies conducted in Mexico show that the evaluated teachers do not
have the profile to be tutors, do not handle basic concepts and do not
know the tools to evaluate students, as well as the intervention
strategies. (Sánchez, 2016) This reality can be observed in Peruvian
schools as can be seen in the study carried out by Martinez, (2017)
who in his research indicates that students were not satisfied with the
attention provided by the tutor teacher in terms of personal,
interpersonal, academic and social dimensions. Even inadequate
choices of the tutoring teacher were evidenced. In view of the above,
the reality of the educational institutions at the secondary level in the
jurisdiction of the Paita Local Educational Management Unit is no
exception. According to the results of the survey conducted with the
principals on the competencies of the tutor teacher, there is a deficit
in the basic competencies referred to: Professional competencies,
social skills, ethical consistency and digital competencies.
The need to strengthen the competencies of the tutor teacher
responds to the deficit found about the level of achievement that
coincides with the studies of Sanchez (2016), Gonzales (2018) and
Zambrano and Cerna (2018) who address the issue on competencies
of the tutor teacher. Sanchez, organizes his proposal in three phases:
the first consists of identifying the needs of teachers for the
development of tutorial action, through interviews and
questionnaires, in the second phase a seminar was held for the
analysis of conceptual aspects, roles, competencies and the profile
of the tutor and in the third phase the tutorial planning and practice
was developed. In conclusion, the proposal systematically supports
the tutors in acquiring competencies to facilitate the support, follow-
up and integral and professional training of the students. (Sánchez,
2016)
