| Sumario: | [EN] The aim of this paper is to progress towards the development of a framework to analyse undergraduate dissertations. We pay attention to four key elements and the relationships between them: the goals to be achieved, the available means, the types of final-year dissertations and the supervisory styles. The distinctive feature of the undergraduate dissertation is the process followed to achieve the final goals: the student must produce a high-quality work with high level of autonomy using the available resources (the previous training, the specific materials and the support of a supervisor). Taking this into account, we focus on two factors which condition the process: the types of dissertations (or projects) and the styles of supervision. It is acknowledged the need to broaden the range of options available for each element creating the procedure for each of them. Also, suggesting a classification for them. Finally, attention is paid to the role of the supervisor since it is considered crucial for students. Therefore, it is proposed a classification for the styles of supervision. According to the contribution of the supervisor at each stage of the process, we identify three supervisory styles: director, advisor and supervisor. Although the choice of the most suitable style depends on many factors, we conclude that, in most cases, advisor and supervisor are the most appropriate for the undergraduate dissertation. |
