Abstract

The author reviews the concept of students’ motivation in the context of activities carried out in tutorials. In order to do this he resorts to the concept of value and students’ disorientation in the present crisis of values. Values constitute the goal that activates human motivations (extrinsic, intrinsic and transcendent). Of these, the latter are the most operative because they adapt better to the liberty of the human condition and may be understood, with total accuracy, as self motivations. If the tutor reveals his own values to the student (the gifts with which he is naturally endowed) and in which it is easier to grow in, the tutorial is even more personal. Putting one’s own values at others’ service is what makes culture progress, instead of narcissism. Finally, he examines some of the most relevant characteristics of tutors in order to carry out an efficient performance of their work as guide.
