Tiivistelmä
The objective of this thesis was to create the contents for a functional international tutoring guide for Savonia University of Applied Sciences. The content will be made to fit the graphical base used in earlier tutoring guides. Using structured interviews, questionnaires, and data from a comparative study, the researchers were to identify if there would be any significance for an international tutoring
guide and what the contents of one would be.
The structured interviews were conducted with staff and tutors of Savonia University of Applied Sciences. The questionnaire was sent to international degree students and the exchange students of Savonia University of Applied Sciences. These methods were used for gathering primary data. The comparative study focuses of finding similarities and differences in tutoring among similar universities, and includes both secondary and primary data gathering methods. Previous literature of this topic includes an earlier international guide created as thesis and the original tutoring guide of Savonia University of Applied Sciences.
The research results indicated that the contents for the tutoring guide, existing and potential, would be significant for new students' orientation period for when tutors are closely involved with their daily routine. The guide provides answers directly to the basic needs arising mostly, and almost only, at that point in time. The primary contents of a sufficient tutoring guide were discovered through research and are present within both the research and in the resulting guide that has been created
