Helping, guiding, accompanying, assisting, and supporting are recurrent actions carried out by the teacher, trainer, or support worker in a professional environment.
Support in Education seeks to define these complex actions that intend to improve collective and individual learning, from high school to university level. Based on an array of research, this book presents the different forms that these actions can adopt and the difficulties associated with them, as well as the methods that are already in place to circumvent them. It examines the methodological tools that can be used to approach them, offering an explanation of the conditions favorable for their implementation.
This book also presents different theoretical frameworks that the reader can explore further and/or use in other educational contexts.
