Mentorship

This paper presents a practice‑driven software engineering course model that centers the curriculum on multi‑term, client‑partnered projects to cultivate real‑world design, teamwork, and delivery skills at undergraduate scale. The approach combines a shared web application stack, agile project management with iterative demos and retrospectives, and remote mentorship from industry alumni to provide authentic exposure to legacy code, stakeholder communication, and production‑like workflows. Operational experiences (“war stories”) surface recurring risks credential leakage, privacy missteps, shifting stakeholder expectations, and deployment hurdles and translate them into actionable process controls such as time‑boxing, version‑control discipline, and early environment planning. Reported outcomes highlight growth in technical execution and soft skills, increased student ownership through community impact, and a repeatable structure that decouples principles from practicum to support continuity across semesters. The paper concludes with adoption guidance on partner selection, mentor recruitment, and technology standardization to help programs embed authentic, sustainable project work as a centerpiece of software engineering education.

ABSTRACT. The relationship between instructional leadership behaviours and lecturers’ job performance is important in higher education. Understanding this relationship can help academic leaders support lecturers and improve teaching, research, and academic development. Therefore, this study determines how instructional leadership behaviour of heads of departments (HoDs) influences lecturers’ job performance at the major public universities in Kumasi, Ghana. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect data from lecturers in public universities at a single point in time. The sample includes public university lecturers. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 155 lecturers to provide quantitative data. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with both descriptive and inferential statistics, including frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations, along with the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The findings indicate that HoDs demonstrate active involvement in setting institutional direction, monitoring instruction, and supporting staff development. However, the findings reveal insufficient mentorship to support lecturers’ professional learning and performance. This lack of mentorship could limit opportunities for developing leadership potential among teachers and supporting their career growth. Lecturers displayed effectiveness in their teaching practices. The statistical results confirmed a significant effect of instructional leadership behaviours on lecture delivery (F(4,98) = 20.382, p < 0.01). It was recommended that HoDs should communicate departmental goals clearly and ensure that lecturers understand their teaching, assessment, research, and administrative responsibilities. Additionally, the strong positive correlation between the communication of institutional objectives and lecturer effectiveness highlights the need for university goals, teaching expectations, and performance standards to be communicated clearly across departments.

Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) provide frontline guidance and support in demanding military environments, where operational workloads can affect personnel well-being and performance. This study described junior enlisted personnel’s assessments of NCO leadership, occupational burnout, and operational performance at the 560th Air Base Group, Brigadier General Benito N. Ebuen Air Base, during 2026, and examined challenges encountered by First Sergeants. A descriptive survey design involved 180 junior enlisted personnel selected from 326 eligible personnel through squadron-stratified sampling, supplemented by qualitative accounts from 11 First Sergeants. Adapted questionnaires measured four leadership dimensions, three burnout dimensions, and four performance dimensions; frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, and thematic analysis were used. Leadership ratings ranged from 3.9236 for supervision, mentorship, and welfare support to 4.0361 for task guidance. Emotional exhaustion was moderate (M = 2.7833), whereas depersonalization (M ≈ 2.42) and reduced personal accomplishment (M = 2.1375) were low. Operational performance ratings were favorable (M = 4.0056–4.1667). Interview accounts identified manpower shortages, inadequate resources, strain on personnel welfare, and interpersonal leadership concerns. The findings informed a proposed Leadership Enhancement and Sustainability Framework prioritizing staffing, mentoring, workload management, and leadership integrity. Because the thesis did not report predictive regression or correlation tests, the results support descriptive assessment and an intervention proposal rather than established statistical prediction.

While existing literature recognises mentorship as an important strategy for leadership development, there is limited empirical understanding of how women experience and negotiate mentorship as they advance into school leadership in the South African context. Despite policy efforts to promote gender equity, women remain underrepresented in school leadership, and the role of mentorship in addressing this disparity remains insufficiently understood. This study explores mentorship as a relational mechanism through which women negotiate access, leadership identity, and social capital in their advancement into school leadership. An interpretive qualitative design, underpinned by a narrative phenomenological approach and informed by Social Capital Theory, was used to explore the experiences of six purposively selected women leaders from township schools in a single district in KwaZulu-Natal. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews and were analysed thematically. Participants reported that supportive mentoring relationships provided them with confidence, professional visibility, networking opportunities, leadership guidance, and encouragement to pursue leadership positions. Participants with limited access to mentorship described feelings of isolation, reduced access to leadership guidance, and fewer opportunities for professional development. They also reported seeking mentorship through external professional networks and women-centered spaces when support within their immediate school environments was limited. Some participants described mentoring relationships characterised by unequal power dynamics, limited trust, or inappropriate behaviour. Based on these accounts, the researchers interpret mentorship as an uneven, relational, and context-dependent mechanism through which women negotiate access to professional resources, leadership identity, and social capital. The findings suggest that mentorship can facilitate women's leadership development when relationships are supportive and trusting, but may also constrain agency when mentoring relationships reproduce hierarchical and gendered power relations. The study, therefore, extends understanding of mentorship by shifting attention from the mere availability of mentors to the relational, institutional, and power conditions that shape how mentorship is experienced and mobilised. Although limited by its small, context-specific sample, the study provides contextually grounded insights into mentorship and women's advancement into school leadership. It highlights the need for structured, responsive, and gender-sensitive mentoring opportunities.

Folk Development Colleges (FDCs) are intended to equip young people and adults with practical capabilities for productive work, yet little is known about graduates’ transition from training to self-employment. This study explored how vocational training, entrepreneurship education, and life-skills training were perceived to support graduates’ self-employment in two selected FDCs in Mtwara Region, Tanzania. Guided by Human Capital Theory, it used an interpretivist qualitative multiple-case design. Thirty-six participants were selected purposively: 24 graduates, 10 tutors, and two principals. Data were collected through two focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews, then analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Participants reported that vocational training developed practical competencies applied in tailoring, agriculture, poultry keeping, welding, food processing and other income-generating activities. Entrepreneurship education strengthened opportunity recognition, business planning, costing, marketing, record-keeping and financial management, while life-skills training supported communication, teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, adaptability and confidence. Experiential learning connected the three training components. However, outdated or insufficient equipment, restricted finance and markets, weak mentorship and industry linkages, limited incubation support and incomplete graduate tracking constrained application. FDC programmes therefore provided complementary preparation for self-employment, but training alone could not ensure enterprise establishment or continuity. Modern resources, sustained practical learning, stronger enterprise-support linkages and systematic graduate tracking are required. As the evidence is context-specific and self-reported, the findings indicate perceived contributions rather than causal effects or verified long-term business sustainability.

This community service activity is motivated by the gap in practical competence among students at SMKS Binong Permai in facing the 2026 Vocational Competency Examination compared to industry standards. The primary objective of this program is to enhance the technical readiness and professionalism of students in Office Automation and Governance (OTKP) as well as Accounting and Institutional Finance (AKL) through the synchronization of academic expertise and practical needs. The activity was conducted on April 25 and 30, 2026, involving all 95 final-year students, consisting of 65 OTKP students and 30 AKL students. The method applied was Vocational Intensive Mentoring, consisting of intensive technical guidance (technical coaching) and independent competency test simulations with service excellence role-play involving lecturers and peer student tutors. Evaluation results demonstrated a significant increase in material comprehension, with average post-test scores exceeding 80. Furthermore, a 100% passing rate was achieved (95 out of 95 students were declared competent), successfully producing systematic executive work agenda drafts and accurate financial reports following junior accounting technician standards. In conclusion, this simulation mentorship not only achieved the 100% passing rate target but also fostered a strategic mindset and digital proficiency relevant to modern workforce requirements.

This study explored the lived experiences of pre-service teachers during practice teaching using technology-based pedagogy and interactive digital tools. A qualitative phenomenological research design was employed to understand how pre-service teachers experienced, adapted to, and coped with technology integration in real classroom settings. The participants were five selected graduates of Sultan Kudarat State University–Lutayan Campus who completed their practice teaching during the Academic Year 2024–2025. Data were collected using a validated semi-structured interview guide and analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings revealed that pre-service teachers experienced professional growth as they integrated technology into their teaching. The use of interactive digital tools, including Quizizz and Kahoot!, supported more engaging, interactive, and student-centered classroom experiences. However, participants encountered challenges such as limited technological infrastructure, unstable internet connections, equipment malfunctions, and varying levels of student digital literacy. To address these challenges, pre-service teachers relied on mentorship, peer collaboration, online resources, backup plans, and alternative teaching strategies. These experiences strengthened their adaptability, problem-solving skills, resilience, and professional competence. The study concludes that technology-based pedagogy and interactive digital tools offer valuable opportunities for pre-service teachers to develop their instructional practices and professional competence, but effective implementation requires adequate technological resources, institutional support, and ongoing training.

Industry-led mentoring is a strategic tool that can bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical expertise, providing mentees with skills development opportunities that stretch beyond what can be learned via classroom-based educational approaches alone. Mentoring is now commonplace within organisational life, but is less common within UK university business schools. This suggests a knowledge gap in terms of understanding how mentoring can be embedded as a complementary tool to improve student skills development within business schools. The aim of this study was to explore the perceived value of industry mentorship from the perspective of the mentees, to develop a greater understanding of the potential benefits mentoring relationships at a university level can provide. Following the journey of mentees on a Women in Business mentoring programme, this study specifically explored the context of female university students. Mentees on the programme were female undergraduate and postgraduate students studying on courses within Sheffield Business School. Using a longitudinal study design, semi-structured interviews were conducted at three stages of a yearlong mentoring programme: 1. pre-mentoring, 2. during mentoring, and 3. post-mentoring. Interview transcripts were analysed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s six-phase framework. The findings show the value of mentoring from a mentee perspective, most notably the notion of having someone in their corner, an ability to gain personalised guidance, and the opportunity to develop a professional network. The challenges of being mentored at this level were also expressed, drawing attention to the need for pre-mentoring education to support meaningful engagement with the process, and a requirement for a clear scheme structure to guide mentees. Guided by these findings, we offer key practical recommendations to programme designers so they can successfully utilise mentoring as part of their offer to students, thus supporting university business schools to further enhance their career and skills development offerings.

منتورینگ با هدایت صنعت، ابزاری راهبردی است که می‌تواند فاصله میان دانش دانشگاهی و تخصص عملی را پر کند و فرصت‌هایی برای توسعه مهارت‌ها در اختیار منتورگیرندگان قرار دهد که فراتر از آن چیزی است که صرفاً از طریق رویکردهای آموزشی مبتنی بر کلاس درس قابل یادگیری است. منتورینگ اکنون در زندگی سازمانی رایج است، اما در دانشکده‌های مدیریت بازرگانی دانشگاه‌های بریتانیا کمتر متداول است. این امر نشان‌دهنده شکاف دانشی در زمینه درک چگونگی ادغام منتورینگ به عنوان ابزاری مکمل برای بهبود توسعه مهارت‌های دانشجویان در دانشکده‌های مدیریت بازرگانی است. هدف این مطالعه، بررسی ارزش ادراک‌شده منتورینگ صنعتی از دیدگاه منتورگیرندگان به منظور درک بهتر مزایای بالقوه روابط منتورینگ در سطح دانشگاهی بود. این پژوهش با دنبال کردن مسیر منتورگیرندگان در یک برنامه منتورینگ زنان در کسب‌وکار، به طور خاص به زمینه دانشجویان زن دانشگاهی پرداخت. منتورگیرندگان این برنامه، دانشجویان زن مقطع کارشناسی و کارشناسی ارشد بودند که در دوره‌های مختلف دانشکده مدیریت بازرگانی Sheffield تحصیل می‌کردند. با استفاده از طرح مطالعه طولی، مصاحبه‌های نیمه‌ساختاریافته در سه مرحله از یک برنامه منتورینگ یک‌ساله انجام شد: ۱. پیش از منتورینگ، ۲. در حین منتورینگ، و ۳. پس از منتورینگ. رونوشت‌های مصاحبه‌ها با استفاده از چارچوب شش‌مرحله‌ای Braun و Clarke به صورت تماتیک تحلیل شدند. یافته‌ها ارزش منتورینگ را از دیدگاه منتورگیرندگان نشان می‌دهد، به ویژه مفهوم داشتن فردی حامی، امکان دریافت راهنمایی شخصی‌سازی‌شده و فرصت توسعه شبکه حرفه‌ای. همچنین چالش‌های منتورینگ در این سطح بیان شد که بر نیاز به آموزش پیش از منتورینگ برای حمایت از مشارکت معنادار در این فرایند و لزوم وجود ساختار شفاف برنامه برای راهنمایی منتورگیرندگان تأکید دارد. بر اساس این یافته‌ها، توصیه‌های عملی کلیدی به طراحان برنامه ارائه می‌شود تا بتوانند منتورینگ را به طور موفقیت‌آمیز به عنوان بخشی از پیشنهاد خود به دانشجویان به کار گیرند و بدین ترتیب دانشکده‌های مدیریت بازرگانی دانشگاهی را در ارتقای بیشتر فرصت‌های توسعه شغلی و مهارتی دانشجویان حمایت کنند.

Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) is a mandated component of National Cancer Institute (NCI)- designated comprehensive cancer centers. Community partnerships are necessary to address cancer disparities, yet few examples of training programs exist to guide career development focused on community-engaged cancer prevention. We designed and assessed a COE internship to enhance workforce development through experiential learning in cancer prevention and control. We implemented a six-week, part-time COE internship that paired didactic training with hands-on experience in patient navigation, community outreach and engagement, health education, and clinical research. Undergraduate, graduate, and post-baccalaureate students engaged in staff-led learning and participated in outreach at the community-level. Intern experiences and self-perceived competency development were assessed using post-program surveys. 35 interns successfully completed the COE internship between inception and Spring 2026. Twenty-eight interns responded to the program evaluation survey. 92% of interns rated their overall experience as either excellent (64%) or very good (28%). The majority of interns reported significant competency development in communication, health education, and knowledge dissemination skills (46%). Awareness of community health disparities (36%), professional skills and interpersonal relations (29%), patient navigation and administration (29%), and research and analytical skills (25%) were also noted. Themes identified through qualitative responses included appreciation for interdisciplinary mentorship and hands-on experience. Our COE internship provided students an opportunity to gain experience in community-engaged cancer prevention. Integration of COE components will continue to develop the necessary workforce skills for those pursuing careers in public health and cancer research.

ارتباط و مشارکت با جامعه (COE) یکی از اجزای الزامی مراکز جامع سرطان مورد تأیید مؤسسه ملی سرطان (NCI) است. مشارکت‌های اجتماعی برای رفع نابرابری‌های سرطان ضروری هستند، اما نمونه‌های اندکی از برنامه‌های آموزشی برای هدایت توسعه حرفه‌ای با تمرکز بر پیشگیری مشارکتی از سرطان وجود دارد. ما یک برنامه کارآموزی COE را طراحی و ارزیابی کردیم تا توسعه نیروی کار را از طریق یادگیری تجربی در زمینه پیشگیری و کنترل سرطان ارتقا دهیم. این کارآموزی COE به مدت شش هفته و به صورت پاره‌وقت اجرا شد و آموزش نظری را با تجربه عملی در ناوبری بیماران، ارتباط و مشارکت با جامعه، آموزش سلامت و پژوهش بالینی ترکیب کرد. دانشجویان مقطع کارشناسی، کارشناسی ارشد و فارغ‌التحصیلان دوره کارشناسی در یادگیری هدایت‌شده توسط کارکنان مشارکت کردند و در فعالیت‌های ارتباطی در سطح جامعه حضور یافتند. تجربیات کارآموزان و رشد شایستگی‌های ادراک‌شده توسط خود آن‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه‌های پس از برنامه ارزیابی شد. ۳۵ کارآموز از ابتدای برنامه تا بهار ۲۰۲۶ با موفقیت این کارآموزی COE را به پایان رساندند. ۲۸ نفر از کارآموزان به پرسشنامه ارزیابی برنامه پاسخ دادند. ۹۲٪ از کارآموزان تجربه کلی خود را عالی (۶۴٪) یا بسیار خوب (۲۸٪) ارزیابی کردند. اکثریت کارآموزان رشد قابل توجهی در شایستگی‌های ارتباطی، آموزش سلامت و مهارت‌های انتقال دانش (۴۶٪) گزارش کردند. همچنین افزایش آگاهی نسبت به نابرابری‌های سلامت جامعه (۳۶٪)، مهارت‌های حرفه‌ای و روابط بین‌فردی (۲۹٪)، ناوبری بیماران و امور اداری (۲۹٪) و مهارت‌های پژوهشی و تحلیلی (۲۵٪) مشاهده شد. مضامین استخراج‌شده از پاسخ‌های کیفی شامل قدردانی از راهنمایی میان‌رشته‌ای و تجربه عملی بود. کارآموزی COE ما فرصتی را برای دانشجویان فراهم کرد تا تجربه‌ای در پیشگیری مشارکتی از سرطان کسب کنند. ادغام اجزای COE به توسعه مهارت‌های لازم برای افرادی که به دنبال حرفه‌ای در سلامت عمومی و پژوهش سرطان هستند، ادامه خواهد داد.

This research paper analyzes the theoretical and practical aspects of implementing mentoring and coaching approaches in the modern youth work system.

Mentoring is increasingly recognized as a critical determinant of academic achievement, professional identity formation, career advancement, and well-being in health professions education. Conventional mentor-mentee models, typically centered on a single assigned faculty mentor, may be inadequate to address the diverse and evolving needs of contemporary dental learners and early-career faculty. The transition towards competency-based dental education (CBDE) under emerging National Dental Commission (NDC) reforms further underscores the need to enhance mentoring approaches that support competency attainment, reflective practice, research engagement, and career development. Recent mentoring literature advocates the development of mentoring networks and individualized mentoring pathways that extend beyond conventional dyadic relationships. Concurrently, advances in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and learning analytics offer new opportunities to deliver personalized educational support at scale. This perspective explores the potential of AI-enabled mentoring networks as a strategy to strengthen mentoring and competency development in Indian dental education. Drawing on established mentoring theories, health professions education literature, and emerging educational technologies, we propose a conceptual framework integrating learner profiling, faculty profiling, intelligent mentor matching, dynamic mentoring road-maps, and longitudinal competency tracking. AI-enabled mentoring systems have the potential to enhance CBDE implementation and support the improvement of competent, adaptable, and future-ready oral health professionals. Future work should focus on ethical implementation, faculty preparedness, and evaluation of educational outcomes associated with technology-enhanced mentoring ecosystems.

مشاوره به طور فزاینده‌ای به عنوان یکی از عوامل تعیین‌کننده مهم در موفقیت تحصیلی، شکل‌گیری هویت حرفه‌ای، پیشرفت شغلی و بهزیستی در آموزش حرفه‌های سلامت شناخته می‌شود. مدل‌های سنتی مشاور-دانشجو که معمولاً بر یک عضو هیئت علمی اختصاص‌یافته متمرکز هستند، ممکن است برای پاسخگویی به نیازهای متنوع و در حال تحول دانشجویان دندانپزشکی معاصر و اعضای هیئت علمی در ابتدای مسیر شغلی کافی نباشند. گذار به سمت آموزش دندانپزشکی مبتنی بر شایستگی (CBDE) در چارچوب اصلاحات نوظهور کمیسیون ملی دندانپزشکی (NDC) بیش از پیش بر ضرورت ارتقای رویکردهای مشاوره‌ای که از کسب شایستگی، تمرین تأملی، مشارکت پژوهشی و توسعه شغلی حمایت می‌کنند، تأکید دارد. ادبیات اخیر مشاوره توسعه شبکه‌های مشاوره‌ای و مسیرهای مشاوره فردی‌شده را که فراتر از روابط دوتایی سنتی هستند، توصیه می‌کند. همزمان، پیشرفت‌های هوش مصنوعی (AI)، یادگیری ماشین و تحلیل‌های یادگیری فرصت‌های جدیدی را برای ارائه حمایت آموزشی شخصی‌سازی‌شده در مقیاس وسیع فراهم می‌آورد. این مقاله دیدگاهی را درباره ظرفیت شبکه‌های مشاوره مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی به عنوان راهبردی برای تقویت مشاوره و توسعه شایستگی در آموزش دندانپزشکی هند ارائه می‌دهد. با بهره‌گیری از نظریه‌های مشاوره‌ای تثبیت‌شده، ادبیات آموزش حرفه‌های سلامت و فناوری‌های آموزشی نوظهور، چارچوب مفهومی‌ای را پیشنهاد می‌کنیم که شامل نمایه‌سازی دانشجو، نمایه‌سازی اعضای هیئت علمی، تطبیق هوشمند مشاور، نقشه‌راه‌های پویا برای مشاوره و پیگیری طولی شایستگی است. سامانه‌های مشاوره مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی این پتانسیل را دارند که اجرای CBDE را ارتقا دهند و از تربیت متخصصان سلامت دهان توانمند، سازگار و آماده برای آینده حمایت کنند. پژوهش‌های آینده باید بر اجرای اخلاقی، آمادگی اعضای هیئت علمی و ارزیابی پیامدهای آموزشی مرتبط با اکوسیستم‌های مشاوره‌ای مبتنی بر فناوری تمرکز کنند.
