The objective of the study was to explore the social representations that students in professional practices have about academic tutoring in social work in two universities in central-southern Chile; in order to explore if academic tutoring generates a space of accompaniment to the formative process of students under guidelines of methodological renovation centered on the student. The study was developed under the naturalistic-interpretative paradigm, with a social constructionist approach, using the focus group and semi-structured interviews as data collection techniques. Participants were selected under a homogeneous purposive sampling, performing a content analysis focused on meanings. The results show that students understand academic tutoring as the first instance of approach to professional work, providing opportunities for integration and application of ethical values, knowledge and specific competences; in addition to visualizing them as an emotional, academic and methodological accompaniment based on the relationship of trust and respect between students and teacher-tutor, within the framework of a non-traditional formative space.

Palavras-chave : Student representations; continuous accompaniment; academic tutoring; professional practice.
