Mentorship: Reflections from Middle School Mathematics Teachers

Abstract

The aim of this phenomenology research is to define the perceptions of middle school mathematics teachers about internship trainers (mentor teachers and university supervisors). The perceptions of participant teachers about internship trainers are examined under three main themes: (i) the importance and contributions of internship trainers in their professional development, (ii) internship trainers' approach to internships and prospective mathematics teachers, (iii) characteristics that internship trainers must have. The results indicate that middle school mathematics teachers have very negative experiences and perceptions about internship trainers.
