Critical Thinking, Caring and Professional Agency: An Emerging Framework for Productive Mentoring

Abstract: In this paper, we report on a mentoring programme which provides an accreditation pathway to a master's level qualification. The paper serves three purposes. First, informed by selected literature on education we caution against expedient reductionist models that are based solely on novice-expert mentoring relationships with limited facility for critical inquiry. Second, we present an evolving theoretical framework for productive mentoring based on our critique of a preferred academic literature and interactio… Show more

“…Kram (1985) encourages constant monitoring of programs not only to gather information on how to implement change, but to also build buy-in with stakeholders of the mentoring program. The productive mentoring framework, as proposed by Simmie and Moles (2011), also encourages a learner-centric model of mentoring in which mentees are considered an important voice in deciding upon the structure and content of mentoring programs.…”

“…As reported by this sample and further supported by the body of evidence [22][23][24], placement supervisors have a notable effect on a learners practice and collaboration with a longer term mentor could further enhance the skill base of students. Moreover, evaluation from a pilot mentorship programme in Australia details the multiple benefits experienced by participating students and concludes that engagement in mentorship programmes could reduce "transition-shock" [30]. Furthermore, the Centre for Workforce Intelligence [20] paper predicts that competition between candidates for pharmacy positions will further increase over the coming decades and thus it would be hugely beneficial if graduates can demonstrate that they are in possession of the skills required to ensure a smooth transition from student to pharmacist.…”

“…Each received an email, inviting them to complete a 54-item postplacement web-hosted questionnaire. The postplacement survey tool was based on the published literature [16,23,[27][28][29][30] and further developed to align with the aims and scope of the placements. Domains focused on experiences, views and attitudes, identification of facilitators and barriers (post), and demographics.…”

“…Somewhat expedient reductionist approaches to supervision tend to address ambiguity through prescriptive expedient normative processes [61], link strict normative procedures to successful measurable outcomes, and perhaps underplay diversity [62]. Alternatively, we seek to present a humanistic of supervision model which retains the fundamental character of science-practitioner model [63], while balancing two different worlds: where supervisors rely on rigorous research, while remaining actively involved in their reflective selfregulated supervision journey, free of prescriptive reductionism.…”
