E-Mentorluk Sürecinin Mente Basarisina Etkisi/The Effects of E-Mentorship Process on Mentee Achievement

With this study, we aim to determine the contributions of e-mentorship model on the sustainability of provincial education supervisors and assistant supervisors. First of all, we have designed and published a web-site (www.e-mentorum.com) to carry out all activities. Based on both literature review and the demands of prospective system users at the beginning phase of the implementation, we have determined eight learning content packages and designed appropriate instructional materials and then uploaded them to the web site. We defined three distinct user-groups called as admin, e-mentor, and mentee. This study was carried out in 2011-2012 years by the participation of 59 provincial education supervisors and assistant supervisors who were on duty in provinces of Elazig, Malatya, and Bingol. In this study, academicians and experienced provincial education supervisors i were assigned as e-mentor, other provincial education supervisors and assistant supervisors were assigned as mente while researcher was admin. Before the implementation of this study, which one group pretest-posttest design model was adopted, for this study and we run an orientation program on what kinds of activities would take place during the implementation and how they would be achieved. Achievement test was used to determine the effect of e-mentorship implementation on the success of provincial education supervisors and assistant supervisors as pretest at the beginning of the implementation and as posttest at the end of the implementation (after 10 weeks). For the analyses of the data, paired-sample t-test, Kruskal Wallis H-test, and Mann Whitney U test were used. Based on the results of the analyses, we found that e- mentorship implementation had positive impact on the success of provincial education supervisors and assistant supervisors [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
