“…And their relationship promotes "the development of growth of mentee's skills and knowledge through the mentor's experience." [14] There is also peer monitoring programmes designed especially for underrepresented populations into science and engineering. Whatever may be the profession like politics, business, medical or other academics mentoring relationship as an essential step towards achieving the success in concerned field.…”

Background: Mentoring is a crucial step for career success and there is lot of stress of different engineering courses in the new environment along with emotional immaturity and new challenges. A well-designed and structured mentoring programme for the budding engineers has been introduced at IIT. A specialized institutional support is required for an IIT student to facilitate success. To facilitate this high level of success for every student, the approach should be active and antecedent. Mentoring has always been an important part in an engineering students’ career. Material and methods: A mentorship programme was designed for engineering students (n-120) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Jodhpur. Two-day workshop was conducted to sensitize senior students of third semester (n-15) who volunteered to be dedicated mentors. After sensitization, 120 B.Tech first semester students were divided among these mentors by a lottery system. At the end of the mentorship programme, perception of mentors and mentees was done by content analysis of all the data collected by open ended and close ended questionnaire. Results: A total of 120 students and 15 mentors completed the feedback questionnaire. Mentors themselves consider this programme helpful in their self-improvement as role models, advisors or career counselors and in improving their communication skills and mentees were of the view that the programme helped them emotionally and academically. Conclusion: Mentor-mentee programme in IIT enhanced the engineering students professional and personal development and both mentors and mentees were extremely satisfied with this programme for career development.

“…Tominaga and Kogo [20] outlined several concepts such as promoting the exchange of teaching-learning experiences and practices to prepare future mentees to participate in future versions of mentoring programs. In the same way, Argente-Linares et al [56] specify that providing teaching-learning criteria to identify the best strategies can capitalize on e-mentoring in higher education. One resource that is overlooked is new graduates, who have not been considered for alternative support from the university as e-mentoring programs based on the research we conducted.…”

E-Mentoring in Higher Education: A Structured Literature Review and Implications for Future Research

2020

Mentoring in higher education helps learners acclimate to a new academic topic, increases the likelihood of academic success, and reduces attrition. Learners rely on the expertise and experience of mentors to help them graduate in a timely manner and advance on to their career. As online and distance education becomes more pervasive, computer-mediated mentoring allows learners to connect with their mentors in new ways. Research about mentoring in higher education includes investigations into the efficacy of virtual or e-mentoring. We conducted a literature review of research from 2009 to 2019 to identify relevant elements for implementing e-mentoring programs in higher education. Our research revealed that there is a consistent interest in the subject matter within educational research; however, there is a gap on virtual mentoring in higher education for students conducting offsite internships. Our research reviews e-mentoring programs, identifies how these programs are evaluated, identifies factors of successful programs, and establishes a research agenda in areas of e-mentoring programs for students in offsite internships and how they can be structured to achieve the same level of success.

“…En las escuelas, las tutorías son programas de prevención que influyen de manera positiva en el desarrollo de los estudiantes (Lyons, McQuillin & Henderson, 2019), la introducción de estos facilita el aprendizaje de los tutorados, a la vez que los orienta (Argente-Linares, Pérez-López & Ordóñez-Solana, 2016). Para Lapeña-Pérez, Sauleda y Martínez (2011), la tutoría tiene como finalidad "crear espacios de colaboración impregnados de comunicación e interacción de calidad, donde los tutores trabajan las competencias de los tutorados para optimizar su proceso de aprendizaje"; de esta manera, la tutoría bien llevada a la práctica es una experiencia positiva (Skaniakos, Penttinen & Lairio, 2014) que proporciona muchos beneficios a los tutores y tutorados (Abbot, Graf, & Chatfield, 2018).…”

“…En este paradigma, la importancia de la política institucional, como mecanismo para facilitar la participación del profesorado, es de alto impacto en la tutoría (Davis et al, 2020), así como la selección de tutores, su formación profesional (De Four-Babb, Pegg & Beck, 2015), la comunicación entre las diferentes partes interesadas, la planificación general y la coordinación de servicios de tutoría (Gjedia & Gardinier, 2018). Para Chan (2020) "se pueden aprovechar las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación para reducir las tensiones asociadas a la tutoría", la implementación de estas en un programa de tutoría mejora la satisfacción general de los estudiantes y, por lo tanto, su efectividad (Argente-Linares, Pérez-López & Ordóñez-Solana, 2016). No se debe olvidar que los estudiantes utilizan las comunidades de aprendizaje en línea para satisfacer sus diferentes necesidades durante los estudios (Fayram et al, 2018), y que el desarrollo de las habilidades digitales de los tutorados se debe principalmente a la motivación intrínseca (Kaše, Saksida & Mihelič, 2019) por parte del programa de tutoría y a las capacidades del tutor para incentivarlas.…”

The objective of this research was to document experiences on tutorials from the perspective of tutors of the Polivirtual system at the National Polytechnic Institute. The work opted for a qualitative methodology and followed the research question: What challenges do tutors face in the Polivirtual system? The study was non-experimental, with a cross-sectional and exploratory design, and used a nonprobabilistic and heterogeneou sample. The results obtained showed that the tutorial action is based on constant challenges, skills, strategies, digital media and the experiences of the tutors themselves. In addition, the research provided useful information about the tutor and their challenges in the Polivirtual system, while finding new trends and data whitin this topic, relevant for future and more introspective investigations. It is concluded that the tutorial activity alternates with other academic, administrative, training and even personal activities, which should be understood as challenges faced by tutors, although not generalizable or definitive.
