Abstract
Formal training in how to mentor is not generally available to students, postdoctoral fellows, or junior faculty. We provide here a framework to develop as a mentor, using the GREAT model. This includes giving opportunities and opening doors; reaching out to help students identify their strengths and reach their goals; encouraging them by serving as a positive example; advising each mentee as an individual; and training them for independent thinking. In this personal view, we expand on each of these steps to illustrate how to develop a personalized mentoring style of your own. By combining these approaches, you as a mentor can work with your mentees to develop an effective and productive mentoring relationship.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We provide here a framework to develop as a mentor, using the GREAT model. This includes giving opportunities and opening doors; reaching out to help students identify their strengths and reach their goals; encouraging them by serving as a positive example; advising each mentee as an individual; and training them for independent thinking.
学生、博士后研究员或初级教师一般都无法获得如何指导学生的正式培训。在此,我们采用 GREAT 模型,为导师的发展提供了一个框架。这包括:提供机会,打开大门;伸出援手,帮助学生发现自己的优势,实现自己的目标;以身作则,鼓励学生;为每个被指导者提供个性化建议;培养学生的独立思考能力。在这篇个人观点中,我们将逐一阐述这些步骤,说明如何形成自己的个性化指导风格。通过将这些方法结合起来,作为指导者的你可以与被指导者建立起有效而富有成果的指导关系。这包括:提供机会,敞开大门;伸出援手,帮助学生发现自己的优势,实现自己的目标;以身作则,鼓励学生;为每个被指导者提供个性化建议;培养学生的独立思考能力。
期刊介绍:
Advances in Physiology Education promotes and disseminates educational scholarship in order to enhance teaching and learning of physiology, neuroscience and pathophysiology. The journal publishes peer-reviewed descriptions of innovations that improve teaching in the classroom and laboratory, essays on education, and review articles based on our current understanding of physiological mechanisms. Submissions that evaluate new technologies for teaching and research, and educational pedagogy, are especially welcome. The audience for the journal includes educators at all levels: K–12, undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs.
