https://doi.org/10.26795/2307-1281-2018-6-2-1
Abstract
Introduction: the modern education system presupposes certain mechanisms for the entry of a young specialist into the profession, rendering assistance to him at the initial stage of his professional development. Effective adaptation of a young specialist to the conditions of an educational organization is possible when organizing an effective model of mentoring in this organization. The article examines in detail the phenomenon of mentoring, as well as the results of a study on determining the state of mentoring in general schools in the city of Nizhny Novgorod.
Materials and methods: when writing the article, methods of analysis of domestic and foreign literature, comparative analysis, questioning, statistical methods of information processing were used.
Results: he article contains the results of a questionnaire survey conducted among the teachers of schools in Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod region to determine the state of mentoring in modern schools. The results of this study prove the low awareness of the teachers of educational organizations about the functional of the mentor, and also demonstrates that the culture of mentoring should be supported and developed.
Discussion and Conclusions: the culture of mentoring provides a great potential for the development of teacher-mentors and young professionals, and also contributes to the greatest success of the educational organization.
