A comprehensive mentoring program includes a variety of components. One of the most important is the ongoing assessment of and feedback to mentors. Scholars need strong active mentors who have the expertise, disposition, motivation, skills, and the ability to accept feedback and to adjust their mentoring style. Assessing the effectiveness of a given mentor is no easy task. Variability in learning needs and academic goals among scholars makes it difficult to develop a single evaluation instrument or a standardized procedure for evaluating mentors. Scholars, mentors, and program leaders are often reluctant to conduct formal evaluations, as there are no commonly accepted measures. The process of giving feedback is often difficult and there is limited empirical data on efficacy. This article presents a new and innovative six-component approach to mentor evaluation that includes the assessment of mentee training and empowerment, peer learning and mentor training, scholar advocacy, mentee-mentor expectations, mentor self-reflection, and mentee evaluation of their mentor.
一个全面的指导计划包括多种组成部分。其中最重要的一个是对指导者的持续评估和反馈。学者需要有专业知识、良好的性格、积极性、技能和接受反馈以及调整指导风格的能力的强有力的积极指导者。评估给定导师的效果并非易事。学者的学习需求和学术目标的差异使得很难开发出单一的评估工具或评估导师的标准化程序。学者、导师和项目负责人通常不愿意进行正式评估，因为没有公认的衡量标准。提供反馈的过程通常很困难，而且关于效果的经验数据有限。本文提出了一种新的、创新的导师评估六部分方法，其中包括对学员培训和赋权、同伴学习和导师培训、学者倡导、学员与导师的期望、导师自我反思以及学员对其导师的评价的评估。
