mentoría social, jóvenes vulnerables, evaluación, RCT, métodos mixtosResumen
Este artículo ofrece una revisión sistemática de las distintas metodologías, técnicas y estrategias en la investigación evaluativa de la mentoría social dirigida a jóvenes vulnerables. Se analizan treinta y cinco evaluaciones de programas durante la década 2010-2020. Los resultados obtenidos muestran el uso mayoritario de una metodología experimental con ensayos controlados y aleatorizados. Este tratamiento metodológico se está viendo progresivamente complementado por la incorporación de investigaciones cualitativas centradas en entender la experiencia de los jóvenes dentro de ella. En base a estos resultados, se plantea la pluralidad de métodos como alternativa en el campo de la mentoría y se destaca la necesidad de contar con estudios que informen sobre la calidad del proceso.Financiación
