La orientación en secundaria en la provincia de Huelva desde la perspectiva del profesorado y miembros de equipos directivos

Abstract

This paper presents the results and conclusions of a research study on the degree of knowledge that Huelva’s educational sector has about School Guidance, and about both the assessment the sector carries out of the advisor’s job and the necessary changes to favour the surmounting of real difficulties at schools. Research was carried out using a survey-based methodology and by means of a structured questionnaire. The answers given by 526 professionals —428 teachers and 98 members of Boards of Directors— were analyzed. The answers dealt with the perception they have of the evolution of the figure of the advisor – from their origins until today; with the work carried out by advisors in collaboration with the different areas of the educational community; with what these professionals expected and then experienced when they joined schools; with the assessment of their job, and the determining factors related to both the schools and the advisor’s personal and professional features, etc.
