MENTORING ON SCIENCE TEACHER EDUCATION IN RUSSIA AND INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES
Journal Title: Journal of Baltic Science Education - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Nowadays, mentoring as an educational form of Russia’s occupational activity is undergoing fundamental changes due to the variety of interrelated factors affecting the mentoring system. The requirements for the mentoring system itself are affected by these changes as well. Nature of the mentoring activity influences socio-economic, political, socio-cultural, pedagogical, methodical and individual factors. The main mechanism for the implementation of the proposed principles of mentoring is an integrative approach, involving the integration and interaction of 1) two processes – the process of occupational development of teachers and their readiness to implement mentoring activities; 2) two types of activities – occupational and mentoring; 3) all entities of the educational institution in the process of mentoring.
