Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the effect of mentoring on five doctoral student outcomes: satisfaction with advisor, intellectual property events, publications, presentations, and degree progress. Psychosocial support, citizenship, discipline, and identity were examined as four moderator variables. Doctoral students who began their program between August, 2000 and January, 2003, provided information about mentoring from their advisor and other individuals, satisfaction with their advisor, doctoral productivity, and degree progress. Two mentoring factors, career and psychosocial support, significantly interact and predict satisfaction with advisor. At high levels of career or psychosocial support, this interaction has the most effect. Discipline was a significant moderator of career and psychosocial support on number of publications. Citizenship and identity were not significant moderators of mentoring and the five dependent variables. Number of semesters of undergraduate research was significantly related to satisfaction with advisor, intellectual property events, presentations, and degree progress. Most individuals reported having a network of mentors.

Download or read book The Doctoral StudentOs Advisor and Mentor written by Raymond L. Calabrese and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on using faculty mentoring to empower doctoral students to successfully complete their doctoral studies. The book is a collection of mentoring chapters showcasing professors and dissertation advisors from the most prestigious universities in the United States. They provide an extraordinary range of mentoring advice that speaks directly to the doctoral student. Each chapter addresses a professional or personal component of the doctoral process that represents how these exceptional faculty best mentor their doctoral students. Faculty contributions exemplify diverse perspectives of mentoring: (a) Some faculty are direct and forthright, pointing the mentee toward his/her destination; (b) some faculty share personal experiences-offering mentoring advice from the perspective of someone who traveled a similar path; and (c) some faculty structure a dialogue between the faculty as mentor and you as the doctoral student. In all cases, they open possibilities for achieving success in doctoral studies. Students discover clues to follow during their doctoral journey. Whether the student is just beginning to think about entering a doctoral program, presently taking course studies, under stress, and doesn't know what the future offers, this is an ideal book because it maps the entire doctoral process.

Download or read book The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most faculty who advise doctoral students do so in one of two ways: Emulate their own advisor (because it was a good experience) or do the exact opposite of their own advisor (because it was a poor one). Rarely are faculty provided with guidance, professional development, or even research related to how to best advise doctoral students. This handbook, written by two experts on doctoral education, provides evidence-based practices, policies, and resources to assist faculty advisors and their doctoral advisees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the interest and pervasiveness of mentoring there has been little attention devoted to professionalizing mentoring for program managers in learning organizations, especially post-secondary institutions, and there are scant resources available for mentoring coordinators. This book fills that gap. Drawing on research on mentoring and coaching in psychology, education and organizations, this guide translates research into practice by helping program administrators learn more about the behaviors of mentoring, stages of mentoring relationships, elements of high quality relationships, and recognizing and avoiding dysfunctional ones. The book includes diagnostic surveys and case studies that coordinators might use in their programs and makes an important contribution to the literature on mentoring, providing a practical, up-to-date resource for those working in the field on how to set up, run, and evaluate their mentoring programs.

Download or read book Modeling Mentoring Across Race Ethnicity and Gender written by Caroline Sotello Viernes Turner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While mentorship has been shown to be critical in helping graduate students persist and complete their studies, and enter upon and succeed in their academic careers, the under-representation of faculty of color and women in higher education greatly reduces the opportunities for graduate students from these selfsame groups to find mentors of their race, ethnicity or gender.Recognizing that mentoring across gender, race and ethnicity inserts levels of complexity to this important process, this book both fills a major gap in the literature and provides an in-depth look at successful mentorships between senior white and under-represented scholars and emerging women scholars and scholars of color. Following a comprehensive review of the literature, this book presents chapters written by scholars who share in-depth descriptions of their cross-gender and/or cross-race/ethnicity mentoring relationships. Each article is co-authored by mentors who are established senior scholars and their former protégés with whom they have continuing collegial relationships. Their descriptions provide rich insights into the importance of these relationships, and for developing the academic pipeline for women scholars and scholars of color. Drawing on a comparative analysis of the literature and of the narrative chapters, the editors conclude by identifying the key characteristics and pathways for developing successful mentoring relationships across race, ethnicity or gender, and by offering recommendations for institutional policy and individual mentoring practice. For administrators and faculty concerned about diversity in graduate programs and academic departments, they offer clear models of how to nurture the productive scholars and teachers needed for tomorrow’s demographic of students; for under-represented students, they offer compelling narratives about the rewards and challenges of good mentorship to inform their expectations and the relationships they will develop as protégés.

Download or read book The Influence of Prot g mentor Relationships and Social Networks on Women Doctoral Students Academic Career Aspirations in Physical Sciences and Engineering written by Yu Gu and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical sciences and engineering doctoral programs serve as the most important conduit through which future academics are trained and prepared in these disciplines. This study examined women doctoral students' protégé-mentor relationships in Physical sciences and engineering programs. Particularly, the study examined the influence of such relationships on this group of women's academic career aspirations. A qualitative approach and ethnographic traditions were utilized to explore women doctoral students' mentoring activities in physical sciences and engineering programs. In-depth ethnographic interviews were conducted between 25 women doctoral students and 10 faculty members from both genders from a large research university in the western region of the U.S. Data was analyzed based on both a deductive approach guided by theory and an inductive technique that reflects the themes, which emerged from the data. The major findings of this dissertation study relate to women's experiences, challenges, and coping strategies; and shed light on the current state of protégé-mentoring relationships in physical sciences and engineering departments at one research university in the western U.S. The findings highlight the nature of the protégé-mentor interactions and the influence such relationships have on women's decisions concerning the pursuit of academic careers. Further, though unexpected at the design stage of this study, the importance of community emerged as one of the major findings. The formation of communities of support seems a rather important strategy for women doctoral students in the process of graduate school socialization; this source of support appears critical to further developing protégé-mentor relationships, increasing one's ability to publish, engage in research collaborations, and advance one's career interests. It appeared to be the most important strategy that women doctoral students utilize when they experience dysfunctional advising relationships. Many women's career related concerns and their pursuit of helpful advice were provided by a meshwork of women scientists and engineers whom they met at conferences, cross-institutional research collaborations, and through a range of diverse channels and networks. In many cases, these included those developed during their undergraduate studies. Informal socialization was very impactful when it came to women's career decision-making process. Yet, this is the aspect of protégé-mentor relationships that has been mostly overlooked by faculty in physical sciences and engineering departments at Western Research University (WRU). Women faculty interviewed for my study were more likely to be involved in the informal socialization process to mentor women doctoral students and address work-life balance concerns. Some male faculty expressed negative attitudes toward women doctoral students' non-academic career trajectories and tended to ignore work-life balance concerns. They demonstrated these attitudes in daily interactions and research meetings with their students. This created an environment in which it was difficult for women to discuss their doubts about pursing academic careers with their faculty advisors. This study revealed some hidden barriers that many women doctoral students face in the process of pursuing a doctorate and an academic career. These barriers took the form of implicit gender bias, complex and confusing environments for negotiating unequal treatment, dysfunctional advising, particularly in the areas of career development and work-life concerns, and subtle and covert forms of sexual harassment. Acknowledging these unique challenges that women doctoral students in physical sciences and engineering programs face is the first step to assist them, but more direct efforts also most be employed to create an environment more conducive to the success of women in science. Department faculty and academic leaders have a unique and important role to play in addressing such matters.
