Estrategias institucionales para acompañar a ingresantes durante el Aislamiento Social, Preventivo y Obligatorio en la Universidad Nacional de Hurlingham

Abstract

This article aims to describe and socialize the institutional measures im-plemented at the National University of Hurlingham (UNAHUR) during the general social confinement. The work focused on the strategies of accom-paniment for first year students that were carried out in all the institutes of the university: Education, Technology and Engineering, Community Heal-th and Biotechnology. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with different institutional actors, involving the participation of teachers from the four institutes, the Management and Accompaniment Team, Institute Directors, the Director of Academic Management, the Aca-demic Secretary and the Secretary of Student Welfare and Community Services. As part of the preliminary results, we can affirm that within the framework of the general social confinement, the institutional policies of UNAHUR tended to strengthen the accompaniment of new students, im-proving academic trajectories. We understand that this was possible be-cause the university constantly questioned education from a political and pedagogical point of view and rethought institutional practice in order to strengthen university education in the community.
