An investigation of mentoring research conducted in the higher education institutions by content analysis method

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the scientific publications in domestic and foreign literature related to mentoring studies in higher education with content analysis methods within the scope of determined themes. With the communication provided between a mentor who has conceptual experience and knowledge and the young adult who is seen as inadequate in terms of knowledge and experience, the young adult; adaptation to the working process, the transfer of experience and help to increase the knowledge can be summarized as the process. The content analysis method was used in the research. Content analysis is a qualitative research method that is carried out by an in-depth examination of the academic studies conducted in the field. Content analysis studies are very important in terms of contributing to the related literature by summarizing the academic publications reviewed. Within the scope of the study, 35 articles published in the national and international literature between 2009-2019 and available to them were examined within the framework of this purpose. In addition, the methods used in the research, publication date of publication, sample distribution and the findings obtained as a result of studies have been tried to be revealed. This study will be able to reveal the importance of mentoring in terms of higher education institutions by examining the results of mentoring activities carried out in higher education institutions within the scope of the determined objectives and interpreting the results.

Yükseköğretim kurumlarında gerçekleştirilen mentorluk araştırmalarının içerik analiz yöntemi ile incelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı yükseköğretimde mentorluk çalışmalarına ilişkin yerli ve yabancı literatürdeki bilimsel yayınların belirlenen temalar kapsamında içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmesidir. Mentorluk kavramsal olarak deneyime ve bilgi birikimine sahip mentor ile bilgi ve deneyim yönünden yetersiz olarak görülen genç yetişkin arasında sağlanan iletişimle genç yetişkinin; çalışma sürecine adaptasyonun sağlanması, deneyim aktarımının gerçekleşmesi ve bilgi birikiminin arttırılmasına yardımcı olunması süreci olarak özetlenebilmektedir. Araştırmada içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. İçerik analizi, literatürde araştırılan alanla ilgili yapılmış olan akademik çalışmaların belirli sınırlar dâhilinde derinlemesine incelenmesi yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilen nitel bir araştırma yöntemidir. İçerik analizi çalışmaları incelenen akademik yayınların belirlenen temalar çerçevesinde özetlenerek, ilgili literatüre katkı sağlaması açısından oldukça önem taşımaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında 2009-2019 yılları arasında yerli ve yabancı literatürde yayınlanmış ve ulaşılabilen 35 makale bu amaç çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Bununla birlikte araştırmalarda kullanılan yöntemler, yayınların yayınlanma tarih aralığı, örneklem dağılımı ve çalışmalar sonucunda ulaşılan bulgular ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışma yükseköğretim kurumlarında gerçekleştirilen mentorluk çalışmalarının belirlenen amaçlar kapsamında incelenmesi ve sonuçlarının yorumlanmasıyla, mentorluğun yükseköğretim kurumları açısından önemini ortaya çıkarabilecektir.
