En el presente trabajo se presenta una investigación realizada en los centros de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) de Córdoba y su provincia, España, con la finalidad de conocer el rol que desempeña el orientador/a, las funciones y actividades que desarrolla, el tipo de ayuda que le solicita el alumnado cuando acude a él, y cómo son las relaciones que establece con el alumnado y sus familias, desde la visión del alumnado. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 328 alumnos, de los cursos 1º, 2º, 3º y 4º de la ESO, distribuidos en un total de 12 Centros de Educación Infantil y Primaria (CEIP), e Institutos de Educación Secundaria (IES), nueve de ellos con carácter público (76.2%) y tres de carácter privado (23.8%). Se utilizó un método de carácter descriptivo y comparativo, para analizar las diferencias entre las puntuaciones medias de los diferentes grupos. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que el alumnado valora positivamente la labor que realiza el orientador/a y las relaciones son muy satisfactorias y que existen diferencias en la percepción de su labor en función del tipo de centro. Puede concluirse que la figura del orientador es un factor clave para el éxito académico del alumnado, pero necesita delimitar sus funciones para desempeñar su labor tal y como se determina en la normativa vigente. The present research shows a study carried out in Obligatory Secondary Education (OSE) centers in the city and province of Córdoba, Spain. The objective is to discover the role played by school counselors, their duties and the activities they develop. The type of help that the students request from these professionals and theirrelationships with students and families from the learners’ perspective is also explored. The sample consisted of 328 students from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of OSE, distributed throughout 12 Infant and Primary Education Centers (IPEC) and Secondary Education Schools (SES), nine of which were public (76.2 %) and three private (23.8%). The method used in order to analyze the differences between the average scores obtained by the different groups was descriptive and comparative. The results support the idea that the students positively value the work done by their counselors, and that their relationships are also very satisfactory. However, the counselors’ work is perceived differently depending on the type of center and gender. Finally, it can be concluded that the figure of the counselor is a key factor for the academic success of students, but it is necessary to delimit their duties to work according to the current regulations.
