멘토링은 조직이나 사회 구성원들의 발전을 돕기 위한 프로그램으로서, 조언자, 상담자 및 후원자 역할을 하는 '멘토(mentor)'와 도움을 얻고자 하는 '멘티(mentee)'가 긴밀한 관계를 맺고 유지함으로써 상호 발전을 위해 수행된다. 현재 이루어지고 있는 대부분의 멘토링은 면대면 (face-to-face) 시스템이거나 웹 기반의 e-mentoring 시스템으로, 전자는 시간적 그리고 지역적 한계를 극복해야만 하고 후자는 멘토나 멘티가 멘토링 사이트에 접속하여 게시판을 확인하지 않으면 제대로 된 멘토링을 수행할 수 없다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 또한 멘토와 멘티의 매칭은 무작위로 이루어지거나 코디네이터라고 불리는 사람이 수행하기 때문에, 비용이 많이 소용될 뿐 아니라 개인적인 편견이나 오류가 개입될 여지가 상존한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 시간과 장소의 제약에 구애 받지 않는 u-Mentoring 시스템을 개발하고자 하며, 그 첫 단계로써 멘토와 멘티간의 매칭을 지원하는 새로운 알고리즘(M3 Algorithm, Mentor-Mentee Matching Algorithm)을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 매칭의 정확도와 멘토-멘티의 매칭 만족도를 높이기 위해 멘토-멘티 온톨로지(M-Ontology)와 사례기반추론 기법을 사용하였다. 즉, 멘토-멘티의 효과적인 매칭을 위해, 멘토-멘티간 매칭 사례가 없는 초기 단계에는 멘토와 멘티의 속성 비교를 통한 추천 방식을 사용하고, 멘토링이 종료되어 충분한 멘토-멘티간 매칭사례가 수집되면 그 결과를 재사용해 추후 매칭에 활용한다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 매칭 알고리즘이 내장된 u-Mentoring system의 포로토타입을 보여주고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between mentor teachers' mentoring characteristics and mentee teachers' reflective practices and to investigate mentor teachers' mentoring methods to enhance mentee teachers' reflective practices based on the analysis. The participants were four beginning science teachers and four mentors who have more than seven years of teaching experience. This study compiled mentor and mentee teachers' journals, records and transcripts from mentee teachers' five periods of classes, lesson plans, evaluation forms of lessons, one-on-one mentoring records and transcripts, questionnaires conducted before, during, and after the mentoring program, and a questionnaire about the effects of one-on-one mentoring. The mentoring characteristics of mentor teachers were analyzed based on mentor's interaction methods and the contents and frequency of the support based on teaching feedback. Mentee teachers' reflective thinking was analyzed by being categorized as voluntary self-reflections of their classes and reflections on the support provided by mentor teachers. Mentee teachers' reflective practices were analyzed by utilizing RTOP. The conclusions of this study are as follows: Mentor teachers could promote mentee teachers' reflective practices by eliciting conversation that helped mentees perceive problems in their teaching practices. Mentors' questions evoking mentees' reflective thinking could elicit mentees' spontaneous self-reflection, and it led to the enhancement of self-reflection on mentors' support and reflective practices. When mentors offered the support based on teaching practices while playing a role as a facilitator to help mentees identify and solve problems by themselves, mentees' reflective practices could be promoted.

This study investigated mentor teachers' mentoring types and how the types of mentoring changed throughout the collaborative mentoring program for beginning science teachers who had difficulties in teaching practice. One-on-one mentoring meetings were audio-taped and transcribed for analysis. The result of the study showed that mentors took various roles such as Observer, Critical friend, Provider of feedback, Instructor, Role model, Evaluator, Counselor, and Equal partner. However, if mentoring did not bring about a change in the perception of a science instruction of a mentee teacher, there was no positive change in the teaching of the mentee teacher. Therefore, mentor teacher must have enough time to concretely discuss about mentee teachers' perception of a science instruction, mentoring method, etc. with mentee teacher before mentoring.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that affect the maintenance of the effect of mentoring for beginning science teachers. Mentee teachers for this study were ten mentee teachers who took part in the collaborative mentoring from 2014 to 2018. For this study, the videos of the first and fifth classes submitted during the mentoring program, mentors and mentees' journals, the videos of the classes recorded in 2019, questionnaires about reflection on the mentoring program, and interview materials were collected and analyzed. The result of this study is as follows. First, the reflective thinking was sustained after the mentoring program, and this played a crucial role in maintaining the effects of the mentoring. The group that showed the improvement of RTOP score had reflective thinking and made reflective practice on their teaching. Most participants in the group created the classes of constructivism based on self-reflection on their classes. However, no positive changes in the classes occurred to mentee teachers who couldn't have reflective thinking. Second, reflective practices during the mentoring program exerted a strong influence on the teaching method of mentee teachers. The group of the improvement in RTOP score strived to apply student-centered model of instruction to their classes. It was showed that most mentee teachers in the group kept applying the student-centered model to their classes after the mentoring was completed. These results indicate reflective thinking and reflective practice are crucial factors to the effect of the mentoring and its maintenance.

This study is aim to explore the key variables that can improve entrepreneurial intentions. In this regard, we focused on mentor-mentee fitness as a variable that can improve entrepreneurial intentions. Therefore, this study identifies the concept of mentor-mentee fitness and provides its role. In addition, the importance of mentor-mentee fitness is to be verified through the effect on entrepreneurship intention. Moreover, the mediating effect of trust in mentor was verified in the process that mentee-mentor fitness induces entrepreneurial intentions. To verify this, we conducted an empirical study targeting entrepreneurs. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, it was confirmed that mentor-mentee fitness had a significant positive effect on trust in mentor. Second, mentor-mentee fitness had a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial intention. Third, trust in mentor had a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Fourth, trust in mentor positively mediated the relationship between mentor-mentor fitness and entrepreneurial intention. Based on this, this study emphasized the importance of mentor-mentee fitness as a variable that can induce entrepreneurial intention. Although the study on mentor-mentee fitness have not been actively conducted, attempts using this variable have shown the value of this study.

The purpose of this study is to analyze components of conflicts and investigate causes of them between mentor teachers and mentee teachers, who participated in the collaborative mentoring program to improve beginning science teachers teaching practice. The most often occurring component of conflict for surveyed teams was class strategy on knowledge of teaching methods. Then, conflicts in understanding student characteristics as a component of understanding students and knowledge transfer of concepts in science as a component of teaching contents followed as main causes. Changes in conflicts showed that less frequency of conflict occurred with ongoing mentoring. Conflicts from class strategy decreased the most, which had been the most often occurring cause. This decrease was explained as mentees were changed gradually into the teacher's role recognition through continuous mentoring. This study suggests that education for mentor and mentee teachers be provided with consideration of causes of conflicts and reasons for those causes, which eventually lead sustainable and efficient mentoring program management.

This study operated a mentoring program for future librarians and analyzed its effectiveness. As a result, first, the final goals of mentees were much more focused and specific in comparison with their initial goals, and the types of objectives they set for themselves became more in depth and subdivided. Second, the employment performance of the mentoring program was measured by comparing with the employment rate of students who had not participated in mentoring programs, and found that the employment rate of students scheduled to graduate who participated in the mentoring program was 83.33%, which is very high. Third, we compared the mentoring semester grades with the grades before mentoring; students' average score was 3.75 before mentoring, while after mentoring their average score improved slightly to 3.84. However, it was revealed that improvement is necessary in terms of mentoring period length and amount of supervision.

If mentoring is performed in university libraries for mentors, the senior librarians with much experience and mentees, the juniors with less or no experience, how would they respond to it and what would be the mentoring they wish to do? This study aims to find those out by analyzing data. For this, it referred to literature and conducted a survey with the subject of the librarians at the P university library. As a result, they showed relatively higher intentions to participate in mentoring. Their highest interest topics were their job related advice or consultation. For the mentor-mentee matching, they wished to have such relationship from the board organized in the library, or mentees wanted to select. They chose work ability as the most important requirement for their partners involved in the mentoring. They responded that the best mentor-mentee matching would be 1:1 and less than a year would be appropriate for the mentoring period. As shown above, most of the librarians showed intentions to participate in mentoring for their professional development and self-learning opportunity; therefore, university libraries should publicize librarians' mentoring actively and develop various programs for it.

In advance of Knowledge Information Society, mentoring is becoming an efficient method for developing and managing human resources. There are several factors to improve the effect of mentoring. Among them, a matching mechanism that connects a mentee and a mentor is the most important in mentoring. In the existing e-mentoring systems, administrators rarely consider personal data. They match suitable mentors for mentees in a mandatory way, which reflects bad effects in the e-mentoring. In this paper, we propose new recommendation algorithms for matching by analyzing personal preferences for secondary school students to improve the effects of the mentoring. In addition, we compare our algorithms with the existing algorithms in terms of elaborateness, accordance, and diversity in order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
