Resumen
Over recent decades university tutoring has attracted much attention. The research carried out has taken many formsemphasising the importance of developing good instruments for investigating this complex reality and its numerous perspectives. This article provides a psychometric analysis of a questionnaire that aims to assess the perceptions of students and professors regarding their perception of the importance and reality of tutoring at university in the current context. The questionnaire was analysed using applied statistical techniques, cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling, using a sample of 569 university professors and 679 students from different universities in the Community of Madrid (Spain). The results showed that the questionnaire contains several useful psychometric properties. This study contributes significantly to existing models in the literature. We confirm that tutoring at university has three dimensions (personal-social, academic and professional), which various authors on the subject consider to be key components. This study proposes a finer division of tutoring dimensions and characterises more analytically the role of the university tutor, in pursuit of the integral education of university students.
