Peer mentoring for first‐year teacher education students: the mentors’ experience

Abstract: Universities worldwide are developing peer mentoring programmes to assist first-year students' transition into university life. Awareness of the mentees' experiences in the mentoring programme -the successes and challenges -contributes to ongoing planning for successful transition for first-year students. Also, understanding the mentors' experiences can contribute to the success of the programme and, more importantly, can lead to strong self efficacy for the mentors. This qualitative study appraises a mentorin… Show more

In fact, students consistently commented on the course evaluations that their relationship with the instructor was a valued part of their experience.…”

“…The literature suggests that mentoring although complex, is mutually beneficial for mentors and mentees (Hall, Draper, Smith & Bullough Jr, 2008;Heirdsfield, Walker, Walsh & Wilss, 2008), but their roles are often described in non-specific terms. For instance, terms such as guide, advisor, counsellor, instructor, sharer, supporter and encourager are commonly used to describe a mentor's role (Hopper, 2001;Bray & Nettleton, 2006;Sundli, 2007;Hall et al, 2008).…”

“…Para los investigadores el objetivo principal del proceso de mentoría es acompañar a los estudiantes a obtener éxito a nivel social, profesional y en sus relaciones personales (Jacobi, 1991;Palmer, Hunt, Neal, & Wuetherick, 2015). Los estudiantes de primer curso, suelen experimentar sentimientos de soledad e incertidumbre durante el primer año académico, hecho que dificulta la transición a los estudios universitarios (Cantwell & Scevak, 2004;Heirdsfield, Walker, Walsh, & Wilss, 2008). Pero existen otros retos, como el incremento de independencia por parte de los estudiantes, el aumento de trabajo académico y las dificultades que sufren para compaginarlo con la vida profesional y personal dando como resultado un bajo rendimiento académico y el abandono de los estudios (Heirdsfield, Walker, & Walsh, 2005;Heirdsfield, Walker, Walsh, & Wilss, 2008).…”

Para mejorar el rendimiento y reducir la tasa de abandono, diferentes Universidades han diseñado programas para dar soporte a los nuevos estudiantes, y facilitar así su transición (CasadoMuñoz, Lezcano-Barbero, & Colomer-Feliu, 2015;Heirdsfield, Walker, Walsh, & Wilss, 2008).…”
