Abstract
The Mentoring represents a fundamental component in the
Postgraduate Programs; its action transcends the merely academic and
consolidates the research training of its participants, translating into the quality
of intellectual production and social progress. The purpose of the documentary
type research is to provide reference theoretical contributions, related to
postgraduate studies in Venezuela, as well as to address the conception,
characterization, typology and operationalization of the tutorial competence.
This referential approach is part of a larger study called Tutorial Competences
for the production of academic texts at the graduate level. This is how, from the
reflective exercise, a set of considerations emerges about transcendental
aspects of the tutorial competence in which the indispensable formation in the
investigative plane prevails. From this perspective, it is expected to promote
reflective processes aimed at generating greater interest in scheduling
significant actions in this area, which requires constant systematic review and
self-reflection.
Keywords: tutoring; teacher qualifications; postgraduate; education
