Abstract
Antecedents: This paper describes a tutorial action project (TAP) that began in the academic year 2012-2013 in the Faculty of Nursing in Melilla (UGR). The objective was to create a mentoring service that would orient students in university life. The assumption was that this type of guidance would facilitate their entry into university life and help them acquire a well-rounded education. Method: The tutorial action plan was designed for first-year students in the Nursing Degree Program. Academic as well as administrative staff acted as tutors for the students. For example, professors mentored the students assigned to them. However, the students also received guidance from administrative personnel participating in the project and from the heads of specific services, such as the library and the academic section of the Secretariat of the Melilla Campus. The project coordinator acted as a tutor as well. Results: The experience was very positively evaluated by the students, who felt that the guidance and orientation that they received during the project greatly facilitated the learning process. Moreover, their meetings with the various tutors (i.e. professors, administrative staff, and project coordinator) helped them to identify positive outcomes as well as difficulties that that they would have to deal with. The students that participated in this project achieved full integration in the campus and academic life, thanks to their acquaintance with all of the university installations and all of the help received from the staff who participated in the project. Conclusions: The mentoring received by the students mitigated the academic difficulties experienced by the participants and facilitated their integration in the university. Because of the success of the activities and the students’ satisfaction with the results, it was decided to continue with the project in subsequent academic years.
