Summary/Abstract: The aim of the conducted research was to determine how academic teachers-tutors conducting tutoring activities understand the term tutoring. The research material comprised transcripts of a focus interview conducted in February 2022 with tutors participating in the programme“Mas-ters of Didactics -Implementation of the Tutoring Model” at the Maria Grzegorzewska University. The transcripts were prepared by the researchers who authored this text. The study's results were analysedusing the qualitative approach of semantic field analysis, which was developed by Regine Robin and her colleagues and modified by Barbara Fatyga. The theoretical foundation for this study is based on semantic field theory. The analysis process employed the qualitative data anal-ysis software MAXQDA. The conclusions drawn from the analysis suggest that reconstructing the network of meanings can lead to a more accurate understanding of the term tutoringfrom the perspective of the university teachers-tutors participating in the programme.
