Integration of educational processes is fundamental to the modern learning paradigm. It is based on the critical approach to vocational training and gives students an opportunity to prepare well for their future professional life. Ability to solve complex problems is key and knowledge integration is central to the successful development of an independent learner. Research shows that the mastery of a specialist is directly dependent on their ability to solve complex problems. This, in turn, is highly reliant on the ability to apply knowledge to solving interdisciplinary problems. The presented article shows that integrated knowledge is both more encompassing and succinct at the same time. It comprises specific educational problems, the solution of which aids the development of professional competence and optimizes the educational process.

Numerous activities and tasks are performed in the course of the tutorial during student training, but not all have the same importance for the tutor. We approach this answer through a wider investigation (Martinez, 2010) conducted in two phases: an initial qualitative one using an interview as a tool for obtaining information, and a second one more quantitative with an electronic questionnaire. The results show the importance that tutors attribute to “being available for students”, “integration into the center” and “providing contextual knowledge and access to documentation of the institution”.
