Summary/Abstract: After 25 years of theoretical and practical education models imported from the international literature it is time to think better. We drew the conclusion that the so called modern or postmodern practices were in the latent or subconscious form in our learning pattern, fact which makes us sustain that the mechanisms through which education and instruction are achieved, are universal. Context is always different and that is how we explain the instruction model promoted at a certain moment. The diachronic analysis in the pre-university or university education makes us draw the conclusion that mentoring, the new concept, and discipleship, the old concept, are actually almost two identical concepts (regarding objectives, contents, duration, instruction methods, evaluation methods, competencies, certifications).
