What are the most effective strategies for academic advising?

While there may be "many best" approaches or features to advisement, one thing I have learned when getting advisement is that the more research I did before seeking advice, without closing my mind to decisions, the better the advice helped. Similarly when I advise, the student who is better researched is likely to get more out of the advisement sessions. The way I have incorporated this observation into advisement is to tell students the more they investigate the question they have with an open mind before advisement, the better off they will be. I also provide research plans before the advisement session. Once again, the more of the plan completed before the advisement session the more productive the meeting.

Building a good relationship is essential for mentoring students, it should be cordial and supportive. The mentee should see the mentor as a trusted advisor who is willing to go extra lengths for him/her

Algo que me deparei durante minha carreira na pós gradua??o foi a grande diferen?a entre orientadores/ mentores. Alguns mais técnicos, outros mais humanos além de outros focados apenas em produ??o científica. Para mim, um melhor caminho para orienta??o científica/acadêmica é aquela aonde existe um objetivo comum entre orientado e orientador, principalmente visando a evolu??o tanto pessoal, quanto profissional do orientado. O papel do orientador, muita das vezes é abrir a mente do orientado para novos mundos, novas possibilidades e n?o apenas a cobran?a por publica??es.

Effective academic advising involves establishing clear communication channels, fostering a student-centered approach, and providing personalized guidance based on individual goals and interests. Regular check-ins, goal-setting sessions, and proactive identification of potential challenges contribute to successful academic advising. Additionally, incorporating technology for streamlined information access and maintaining a supportive, open-door policy enhances the overall effectiveness of the advising process.

Effective academic advising involves personalized guidance, regular communication, and proactive support. Advisors should help students set and track goals, be aware of available resources, and intervene early to prevent challenges. A holistic approach, emphasizing well-being, is crucial. Collaboration with faculty and utilizing technology enhances efficiency, while cultural competence ensures sensitivity to diverse backgrounds. Encouragement, feedback loops, and empowerment strategies contribute to a supportive advising environment, fostering student success and development.

Desde el principio, los estudiantes deben encontrar un sentido propio a su aprendizaje. ?Que me motiva a aprender? ?Por qué participo en esta formación? ?Me interesa sólo el certificado, titulo o nota final? Da igual si las respuestas son utilitaristas o superficiales; lo que importa es que sean honestas y veraces para el implicado. Ello implica un ahorro de esfuerzo y costes, además de mejorar la eficiencia del asesoramiento.

Este quesito, eu creio que já existe um fluxo determinado, caso contrário, n?o haverá como prosseguir com a orienta??o acadêmica entre as partes. Que da mesma forma que o orientador precisa estar atento às carências de desenvolvimento de seu orientando, de igual modo, o orientando deve ser humilde e submisso à condu??o de seu orientador.

Importante aconselhamento para o desenvolvimento do aluno pois muitos ainda n?o têm maturidade. Portanto é essencial para o amadurecimento, permitindo escolher o caminho correto a ser seguido.

Desde o come?o o acadêmico precisa ter esse aconselhamento, através dele, tra?amos, metas estipulamos prazos e o primordial acontece o crescimento cultural!

Na prática docente a empatia se faz necessária para que se possa melhor conhecer o aluno as suas qualidades intrínsecas, assim como as suas dificuldades; de modo a melhor poder auxiliar este n?o somente no seu desenvolvimento acadêmico, assim como no seu desenvolvimento pessoal.

By regularly reviewing and analysing the data, it offers insights into student progress and areas needing additional focus. By adjusting your teaching strategies, personalising elements of this and the course content based on these insights, it helps to continuously improve the learning experience overall.

El poder reforzante del reconocimiento de una mejora o respuesta es increíble. Un ejemplo extremo, ante una buena respuesta o aportación, la frase: "apúntate un gallifante!" casi parece mágica. Aún desconociendo qué es un "gallifante" (un premio en un antiguo concurso de televisión) los alumnos se esfuerzan por conseguirlos... aunque sólo sea de manera verbal! Lo he comprobado con graduados universitarios, operarios de fábrica, vendedores, doctores, presos, enfermos mentales y discapacitados. Se suele producir una competición para ver quién consigue más en las sesiones docentes.

O Feedback é necessário para o crescimento do acadêmico pois sem ela n?o tem como aparar as arestas e mostrar o caminho certo a trilhar para um bom resultado!

Durante toda a jornada acadêmica faz-se necessário fornecer ao discente um feedback, de modo a possibilitar a este a constru??o do seu conhecimento paulatinamente elencando os pontos positivos a serem ainda mais explorados; assim como os negativos, de modo a rever ou corrigir a rota proposta.

Feedback should commence immediately to avoid missing out on important follow-up or detail. While constant feedback helps your advisee to remain on track, it also helps to ensure you are giving the best possible.

A utiliza??o da tecnologia como ferramenta no ambito acadêmico, nos dá autonomia como docentes em planejar melhor o tempo e facilitar o acesso do discente aos conteúdos de forma colaborativa para os seus estudos, gerenciamento de atividades, proporcionar um ambiente de fácil feedback e trocas de experiências. Porém vale ressaltar, que o uso da tecnologia nesse ambiente, refor?a a prática do foco, organiza??o e modera??o de seu uso.

When used with permission, I have found Artificial Intelligence driven technology to be very beneficial in helping transcribe and summarize advising sessions held over videoconferencing platforms. Automation in note taking is particularly useful when -advising a large number of students with verbatim documented record -staying focused on conversations instead of taking notes - maximizing productivity by having AI technology generate meeting recaps in written, video, and/or audio formats that can be shared with advisees. Given AI technology is relatively new and is still being perfected, organizational approval and/or subscription might be required to ensure privacy and security of users’ conversations.

As an academic mentor and adviser with over 9 years of experience, I must highlight the transformative impact technology has brought to mentoring. The plethora of technological tools employed in teaching provides mentors with invaluable opportunities to effectively play advisory roles and this is indeed commendable.

Las nuevas tecnologías son las herramientas colaborativas más importantes que ayudan en el día a día a poder realizar actividades más eficientes.

Adapting to diversity is insufficient. How does one “adapt” to diversity when some have little or no firsthand knowledge of what being culturally literate entails? In my opinion, university advisors and college counselors at the secondary level must represent the diversity found in society. Additionally, when hiring for such positions, institutions must look for candidates who are well-traveled, have had extensive training and successful experience working with students in diverse, multicultural settings. By so doing, we can help ensure that all students have an equal opportunity and are not being held back by cultural and other biases.

Los ejemplos que facilitan la comprensión de las teorías deben "conectar" con las vivencias y experiencias de los estudiantes. Ello implica conocer la realidad diversa de los mismos antes de la labor docente efectiva. Se consigue así un impacto emocional que asienta el recuerdo y activa la curiosidad para ampliar el conocimiento.

As práticas empáticas possibilitam um melhor conhecimento do discente, de forma a possibilitar utilizar-se das ferramentas educacionais de forma mais adequada para cada caso.

Acredito que a utiliza??o do DUA seja fundamental para de alcan?ar o êxito no atendimento a todas as necessidades específicas

La diversidad es un atenuante a tener en cuenta para lograr retos y objetivos desafiantes, siempre buscando unos objetivos posibles y medibles.

De fato a orienta??o acadêmica n?o é uma atividade independente, pois podemos considerar como exemplo os referenciais teóricos que fazem parte do conjunto de recursos que o orientando terá para desenvolver seu projeto. Quer melhor exemplo a??o colaborativa como esse?

I completely agree with the statement. Additionally, collaborating with staff and administrators is also important as it allows advisors to access and refer students to the various services and resources available on campus. Advisors can work with staff to refer students to tutoring services, career counseling, mental health resources, and more. This collaborative approach ensures that students receive holistic support and are connected to the appropriate resources that can further enhance their academic success.

A prática educacional envolve a sociabiliza??o do discente no espa?o educacional, e todas as partes envolvidas neste processo s?o de suma importancia para a constru??o do aprendizado.

Academic advising thrives on collaboration and the creation of a circle of support. Students often share various facets of themselves with different individuals and different contexts. When pieced together, often the whole story is established and leads to concrete action being taken to ensure the student's success at the institution. By not only establishing consistent points of contact among offices and departments, all stakeholders involved in a student's success can ensure that the best decisions are being made. Consistent collaboration can also support personal reflection and assessment, in which staff and faculty can evaluate their approaches and practices in advising students to determine whether they are most effective.

When giving academic advise, it might be a good idea to collaborate with others. You could use their experience to help your advisees. When you collaborate with others, you could get more ideas on how to advice your advisees. The more ideas, the better. Besides that, if you are having problems with your advisees, you could maybe ask your peers to talk to them instead. Advisees especially young ones are usually afraid of people who are unfamiliar to them.

I used to chair a meeting for partners/families of drug users and it helped tremendously for people to know that others are having the same difficulties/struggles/issues. Just to hear how they coped. People felt less isolated and contacts were established for support, within the group.

Sinto que os orientandos geralmente se perdem no desenvolvimento dos trabalhos acadêmicos em fun??o de um planejamento inadequado. Sugiro sempre que haja uma revis?o colaborativa do cronograma e que cada parte do trabalho tenha datas pré-determinadas para conclus?o. Isso inclui entrega, leitura, feedback, revis?o para cada fase ou capítulo. Estudo bibliométrico ou cientométrico reduzem a fragilidade do texto científico e um bom referencial teórico auxilia na argumenta??o.

I have a group of youngsters who are undergraduates that I mentor and coach and what I observed in our first meeting was that they never knew they needed to set goals for themselves. We shared about goals setting and how they needed to ensure that the goals are realistic as well as achievable. I also challenged them to obtain a diary or jotter where they could curate their thoughts and tick off their boxes. Meanwhile, I opened a WhatsApp group platform for our conversation.

El trabajo colaborativo consigue obtener sinergias que no podrían conseguirse por uno mismo, la unión hace la fuerza y los mejores resultados se obtienen a base una cooperación con la misma finalidad.

être réaliste: ne pas avoir peur de dire aux élèves et à leurs parents quelles sont les possibilités de l’élève en fonction de ses capacités et quels projets sont faisables et lesquels ne le sont pas.
