Mentoring im Referendariat - eine Black Box?: Organisationspädagogisch-rekonstruktive Analysen des Vorbereitungsdienstes zum Lehramt an Gymnasien (Organisation und Pädagogik #37)
by Andrea GergenDie vorliegende rekonstruktive Studie befasst sich mit den Orientierungen von Mentor*innen im Vorbereitungsdienst zum Lehramt an Gymnasien, da nach wie vor ein Forschungsdefizit in Bezug auf das organisationale Lernen von (Begleit-)lehrkräften in der zweiten Phase der Lehrkräftebildung, ihre pädagogischen Praktiken, ihre kollektive Professionalisierung und die damit implizierte Schulentwicklung besteht. Mentoring im Referendariat erscheint als eine Black Box hinsichtlich der Ausgestaltung der formalen, gesetzlichen und administrativen Vorgaben, des Umgangs mit Mentoring als Personalentwicklungsinstrument, des Lernens in, von und zwischen Organisationen und hinsichtlich seiner Bezüge zu pädagogischer Professionalität und Professionalisierung. Außerdem gilt die Schule als organisationaler Rahmen des Mentorings im Vorbereitungsdienst zum Lehramt an Gymnasien als Black Box, da gesetzliche Rahmungen und politische Programmatiken des Referendariats wenig über die Praktiken von Mentor*innen im Rahmen der sozialen Herstellung schulischer Wirklichkeiten und der sie leitenden Orientierungen aussagen. Mit der vorliegenden Studie soll diese Forschungslücke geschlossen werden.

Mentoring In Health Professions Education: Evidence-Informed Strategies Across the Continuum (IAMSE Manuals)
by Alice Fornari Darshana T. ShahThis IAMSE Manual, Mentoring Across the Continuum, is a product of its co-editors' and authors’ lifetime work in mentoring faculty and studying the impact of this mentoring. The book defines the field of academic medicine as highly dependent on finding and relating to mentors at virtually every stage of a doctor's career. It describes and analyzes successful mentor/mentee relationships, examining the authors' personal experiences, as well as a data-driven approach, to explore the many different roles and perspectives on mentoring relationships and ultimately the mentoring culture. The editors look at the data with respect to the success of different strategies in mentoring, as well as different structures of diverse mentoring programs. As well, proven ways to deliver these programs successfully for all professionals who lead mentoring programs or are active participants as mentees. There is a special emphasis on the mentoring of medical educators. However, the themes explored in this book are generalizable beyond the medical educator to include diverse academic roles across the continuum. In particular, enumerating the many specific roles of a mentor beyond just the traditional concepts adds breadth and depth to understanding what can be gained from mentor-mentee relationships. This Manual is a valuable resource for clinicians, educators, and trainees in addition to anyone involved in medical education and progressing through the stages of practicing, teaching, and learning in medicine. This Manual represents a meaningful addition to the literature on this most important professional subject.

Mentoring In Mathematics Teaching
by Barbara Jaworski Anne WatsonThe arena in which the preparation of student-teachers for the teaching of mathematics takes place is shifting its foundations and moving its boundaries. The whole basis of teacher education at secondary level is in flux with a move towards teacher-education programmes which are largely school based. Increasingly, there is seen to be an important role for the school teacher who acts as mentor to the student teacher in some relationship with a tutor from the initial training i nstitution.; Teachers who are being encouraged to take on the mentoring role need preparation for its demands and teacher education courses need increasingly to make provision for the education and support of mentors. The purpose of this book is to discuss the mentoring process, to provide ideas and to highlight issues. It provides both practical help and guidance, and a philosophical consideration of the development of mathematics teachers and teaching.

Written by a team of international experts with extensive practical experience of mentoring in PE and coaching, the book clearly explains what mentoring is, how it should work, and how an understanding of socio-cultural factors can form the foundation of good mentoring practice. The book explores practical issues in mentoring in physical education, including pre-service and newly qualified teachers, and in coach education, including mentoring in high performance sport and the role of national governing bodies. Each chapter includes real mentoring stories, practical guidance and definitions of key terms, and a ‘pedagogy toolbox’ brings together the most important themes and techniques for easy reference.
