“…Otro beneficio se relaciona con el hecho de que el apoyo es proporcionado por personas con características similares al estudiante asesorado, lográndose así una mayor disposición a aceptar la ayuda, puesto que la orientación recibida se considera más real y ajustada a las necesidades de los alumnos (Aguilar, 1999;Brown, 1975;Chapman y otros, 1987). Además, el estudiante-asesor no sólo presta ayuda ante cuestiones académicas, como podría hacer un tutor, sino que también se puede preocupar por los posibles problemas personales que los jóvenes asesorados puedan sufrir (Hart, 1996).…”

RESUMENEl acceso a la universidad supone uno de los cambios más importantes que los estudiantes experimentan a lo largo de su formación, por lo que cualquier iniciativa encaminada a disminuir sus efectos indeseables es bien acogida. De cara a mejorar la cantidad y calidad de la información que durante este período los estudiantes reciben, el presente estudio se plantea como objetivo detectar las necesidades de información que presentan los estudiantes universitarios. Para ello, se diseñó un cuestionario que permitiera evaluar dichas necesidades. La versión original del cuestionario de 24 elementos se administró a una muestra de 741 estudiantes, de ambos sexos, de 17 a 25 años. Los resultados mostraron preocupaciones relativas a exámenes (76% estudiantes), planes de estudio (71,7%) y docencia (64%). Posteriormente, se les preguntó sobre las fuentes de las que habían obtenido información, así como, por el valor que concedían a la figura del estudiante-asesor.

The paper highlights the importance of affectivity in school retention in public secondary schools in Guadalajara, Mexico, in a socioeconomic context where the students themselves often decide whether to stay in school or to drop out. In such contexts, students' feelings towards the school and the teachers can become crucial in deciding whether to persist with school or not, especially when they are already under pressure due to economic difficulties and other family pressures. Yet currently, pressures to achieve efficiency in schools limit teachers' capacity to establish more personal contact with their students. The article looks at a space within Mexican secondaries that could potentially help attend to students' emotional well-being: the 'clinic' manned by the educational guidance counsellor (gabinete del orientador); but also points to obstacles that can prevent this space from being used in a constructive way.
