| Summary: | This article demonstrates the application of semantic field analysis to the interpretation of interview data, with a particular focus on the integration of quantitative methods. The aim of the study was to determine how students participating in academic tutoring understand the term "academic tutoring" and what meanings they attach to it. The study formulates the following research question: "What images of tutoring in terms of its contexts and meanings do student participants in it, have?" The research base consisted of transcripts of two focus interviews conducted with 11 tutees. A qualitative and quantitative approach was used to analyse the research results - the method of semantic field analysis. The background of the analysis was the constructivist concept, which is rooted in the creative role of language. The conclusions of the analysis indicate that thanks to the reconstruction of the network of meanings, it is possible to define the term tutoring from the perspective of students participating in the program in a more accurate way. The results of these studies contribute to research in the field of social sciences related to the development of humans, while at the same time being a source of recommendations for a wider inclusion of personalised education strategies in higher education. |
