Principles of modern mentoring in high school

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the basic principles of mentoring in higher education. The authors revealed that the activities of the mentoring institute should be based on a number of basic principles, namely: scientificity, legality, variability, individualization, consistency, mutual respect, axiology, competence and voluntariness. The study shows that the principle of a mentor’s work is to convey his own professional experience - “do as I do.” In modern conditions, this is not enough, so mentoring should be considered from the perspective of meta-technology, where, within the framework of interaction, the mentor chooses the most suitable role to achieve the best effect (mentor, coach, tutor, facilitator). The conclusions are formulated that the activities of mentors need to be competently managed, planning work to “grow” personnel, identifying factors influencing the state of personnel potential, and forecasting its development based on the basic principles of organizing the activities of a mentor. The interest of higher education institutions should be traced in this, because Thanks to mentoring, new opportunities open up for them in the implementation of innovative and investment-attractive projects, which, in turn, is an indicator of interest in these educational institutions as platforms for recruiting promising personnel.
