Abstract

Abstract:The following research "Development and evaluation of a pilot mentoring experience with undergraduate students of Distance-University education," was carried out at the "University Center of Limón-Indanza" during the period of October 2015 to February 2016, with a sample of five students of the UTPL. The purpose of this plan is to diagnose the reasons for the early student dropout and later apply some procedures to achieve a successful adaptation of students to the university. To carry out this project, several research methods were used, including: Participatory Action Research method (PAR), descriptive method, analytic-synthetic and deductive-inductive method. In addition, bibliographical and field research techniques were applied. Moreover, data were collected through face-to-face workshops and questionnaires; the data were analyzed, evaluated, and served to issue conclusions and recommendations that will help improve the processes of mentoring in future interventions as well as improve the academic, personal and professional level of the students.Therefore, we suggest the reader reviewing this work, which is the joint effort of tutors, directors and mentor as the author of this research.
