The approach to the reality of these institutions has been made across assessment processes and monitoring sustained for more than 15 years in the Buenos Aires area. In this production are recreated and are reviewed the conceptual categories that form the conceptual matrix of research conducted between 2005 and 2007, comparing the experiences of supervision held between 2011 and 2015.
