Mentoring System Research Articles

Survey analysis and discussion on cultivating scientific research quality among undergraduates in medical colleges.

To explore rational measures to improve medical undergraduates' scientific research quality by investigating and analyzing their scientific research situation. A questionnaire survey was conducted in March 2022 among medical college/university undergraduates across four grades and five majors. Five hundred and ninety-four questionnaires were distributed, and 553 valid copies were returned, with a 93.1% return rate. The results showed that 61.5% of the students had an intense interest in research experiments, and 46.8% thought it was important for undergraduates to participate in research experiments, but only 17.5% often participated in them. Among the students, 85.0% thought that the main factors preventing them from participating in research experiments were academic stress and insufficient time, and 82.6% hoped that mentors would focus on practical skills training; only 13.0% read literature at least once per week, and 93.5% were not proficient at organizing and using literature. Among the participating undergraduates, more than half were strongly interested in scientific research, but academic stress, unclear participation modes, and insufficient literature retrieval skills limited undergraduate scientific research practice and improvement of scientific quality. Therefore, it is essential to cultivate undergraduates' interest in scientific research, ensure that they have spare time to engage in scientific research, improve the undergraduate scientific research mentorship system, and enhance relevant scientific research abilities to cultivate more innovative talent in scientific research.

Mentoring: A Traditional Cook Island Approach to Support Men.

The present study examines a unique Cook Island approach to the rehabilitation and support of men, particularly those who have been convicted of criminal offending or who are experiencing other mental health or interpersonal difficulties. The culturally appropriate method of enabling change is offered via a community-based 24-hr mentoring system to support men. Run by men, the program is based on traditional Pacific ways of male mentoring in which one man helps another. This study examines the male mentoring program via qualitative analyses of semi-structured interviews. Seven men who had experienced mentoring and six mentors who deliver the program describe the mentoring system and their experiences. The study identifies several perceived benefits or themes in relation to the program. The unique Cook Islands' male mentoring program is viewed as beneficial in that it allows males to be open and supported to make change to be re-absorbed into the community, have healthy functioning, and reduce re-offending via the ongoing supportive care.

Scale Up – A Mentorship Platform for Start-Ups

Abstract: Mentoring is a traditional means of passing on information and ideas from a seasoned expert in society to a newcomer in the industry. Mentoring has long been seen as a useful technique in the corporate world. With the introduction of new technology comes the concept of online mentoring, often known as e-mentoring. Instead of face-to-face meetings, the Online Mentoring System (OMS) employs asynchronous, electronic interactions to build and nurture the mentor-startup connection in a virtual manner. The Online Mentoring System is a client-server paradigm that serves as a bridge between the teacher and the student. OMS attempts to lessen the effort of startup individuals in submitting their information while also allowing Mentors to examine their business more effectively. E-Mentoring is fundamentally developed to improve the performance of the business by assisting mentors in understanding the problems of startup persons more effectively and efficiently.

Experience in the study of the phenomenon of reverse mentoring in the system of general education

Introduction. One of the effective means of developing modern education is reverse mentoring. For its successful implementation, it is necessary to understand this phenomenon by the pedagogical community, in particular, teachers of educational institutions. The purpose of the work is to determine the level of understanding by teachers of general educational organizations of the essential and content characteristics of reverse mentoring. Materials and methods. The study used theoretical (theoretical analysis of the literature, generalization, classification) and empirical (analysis of regulatory documents, questionnaire survey) methods. The questionnaire survey involved 316 teachers of general education organizations (mentors and mentored people) from 8 regions of Russia (Nizhny Novgorod, Kurgan, Chelyabinsk, Tomsk, Ulyanovsk, Sverdlovsk regions, the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District). The average age of the respondents is 36.69 years (ϭ=13.92), the average teaching experience is 12.73 years (ϭ=12.99); 7% men, 93% women. The questionnaire included 21 questions. The obtained data were processed by the methods of content analysis and mathematical statistics (descriptive statistics, Fisher's criterion). Research results. As a result of a questionnaire survey, it was revealed that teachers of general educational institutions are aware of the importance of using different types of mentoring, including reverse (41.5%); believe that they are included in the system of reverse mentoring (63%), but at the same time they do not understand the essential and substantive characteristics of the phenomenon of reverse mentoring. Thus, only 25.9% of respondents believe that within the framework of reverse mentoring, a young teacher teaches a more experienced one, and 24.4% that an older teacher in age, experience or position becomes a ward of an employee who is younger in these parameters. To determine the content characteristics of reverse mentoring, the characteristics of the mentor, identified by the respondents, were of particular importance. Conclusion. Based on the results, the methodological foundations of reverse mentoring were identified and its definition was formulated as a pedagogical interaction in which the mentor has a lower status (age, length of service, position) than that of the mentored person; aimed at filling the deficit of tutored in professionally significant competencies, based on trust, equality and active cooperation.

Rapid Detection of Soil Texture Attribute based on Mid-Infrared Spectral Library In Salt Affected Soils of Hungary

Quantifying among others the soil's physical properties is essential for the assessment of the diverse soil environmental functions including water balance of soils and pore structure, water erosion and various soil hydraulic properties. The mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy is a useful technique to predict soil attributes with high accuracy, efficiency and low cost. In this study, we examined the ability of our MIR soil spectral library in predicting the clay, silt, sand content of salt affected Hungarian soils. This research is part of a project to establish a MIR spectral library in the frame of the Hungarian Soil Information and Mentoring System (SIMS) survey. Salt affected soils type data was extracted from the spectral library then transformation of spectral reflectance values to absorbance values were performed. Moving average filtering method was applied to absorbance spectra before performing principal components analysis. To determine outlier samples and to select the proper samples for model calibration, Mahalanobis distance-based outlier detection method and Kennard-Stone Sampling selection method were applied on the principal component scores. Spectral and reference soil data were combined and split into training and testing datasets. MIR prediction models were built for sand, clay, and silt content using Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) method. Coefficient determination, root mean square error and ratio performance to deviation were used to assess the models performance. The prediction accuracies of calibration sets for soil physical texture were excellent while the validation results were slightly lower but still with a good level of prediction.

Analysis of E-mentoring Platform for Future Leaders’ Development: A Comprehensive Literature

The study aims to analyze the role of e-mentoring in developing leadership skills between mentors and mentees, particularly in global environment. This research is using qualitative approach that work on a comprehensive literature development on e-mentoring platform for future leaders. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the labour market, making it difficult for young people to secure productive employment. They often lack experience, talents, and social networks, making it difficult to find suitable candidates. Informational asymmetry and limited access to resources further exacerbate these employment obstacles. A significant proportion of youth are not employed, in school, or training, resulting in diminished employment prospects and challenges in adapting to the workplace. The result shown that e-mentoring offers numerous advantages, including accessibility, professional development, and enhanced communication skills. It allows mentees to ask questions anytime, anywhere, and can be used for professional growth. E-mentoring also improves teamwork and accessibility, allowing for diverse collaboration and breaking down sociocultural barriers. However, it also presents challenges, such as ensuring proper communication and addressing cultural differences. Overall, e-mentoring offers a more accessible and effective mentoring system.
