Abstract
The collaboration between researchers and instructors to develop a
basic education program that attends to a highly vulnerable population enabled the pinpointing of the role of formally assigned accompaniment to pedagogical advisers within the Mexican education system. We adapted a modality of participative action research to
the conditions of the basic education program; we recorded class
sessions and analyzed, along with the instructors, specific moments
to stimulate reflection about the achievement of an innovation goal.
The collaboration was organized in such a way that some typical
tensions of this type of action research were effectively resolved,
and the results clearly demonstrated that this kind of research can
lead to greater benefits for instructor development and the functions
of pedagogical advisers. The research identifies the resources and
mechanisms that the Mexican education system needs to modify in
order to achieve instructor accompaniment and development that
deliver long-lasting results through the personnel dedicated to this
task.
