Museums today engage in a range of educational activities, including simulated museum's historical school lessons. The article uses the Slovenian School Museum as an example and describes the ...education it offers, especially concerning museum's historical school lessons. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the views and reactions of university students (n = 19) from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Ljubljana, concerning what they learned from the enactment of a historical school lesson. An open-ended type of questionnaire was given to participants in the study year 2019/20 and used to evaluate the “Ancient Emona” school lesson. The study's findings show the historical school lesson conducted in the museum to be an effective, living, and active means of education on the history of teaching for university students.
Museums engage in different forms of education, not just exhibitions but workshops, school lessons, etc. Simulating school lessons from the past constitutes a type of non-formal education, yet ...evaluating their effectiveness is an area that hardly ever attracts research. This qualitative study seeks to respond to this paucity. The article uses the Slovenian School Museum in Ljubljana, Slovenia as an example and describes the forms of education it offers. The study's purpose is to determine the effectiveness of two school lessons, the participants' satisfaction with them, what they learned etc. A questionnaire given to the participant university students from Slovenia and abroad was used to evaluate the two lessons. The study's findings show the lessons conducted in this manner are an effective, living and active way of educating about the past. The findings are valuable for supporting efforts to improve the quality of museum education in the future.
The article describes the views nurse mentors have on the efficiency of their mentoring of nursing students in one of the public hospitals in Slovenia. This is one of the least addressed fields of ...research, particularly when evaluating the effects of nurse mentors. The purpose of the quantitative study is to ascertain the situation and effects nurses have when mentoring university students during their clinical practice. The descriptive method of empirical research was applied. The research was based on the analysis of a questionnaire for nurse mentors. The goal was to find out how they view mentorship efficiency, how to increase it, and how mentors evaluate their competences, difficulties, etc. The study’s findings bring new insights and important recommendations on how to improve mentoring during the clinical practice of nursing students. The research showed that mentors needed pedagogical and andragogical knowledge. The results are important for improving the quality of nursing mentorship and positively affect their further education and professional development. It would also be important to establish a Slovenian, European and international network of nursing mentorship for university students in the future. This would have an impact on the international cooperation of nurse mentors and their mentoring efficiency, as well as better practical training and employment for students of nursing.
This article describes the characteristics of mentoring higher education students in companies which is a field the least researched, particularly when evaluateing effects of mentoring. This ...qualitative study is a response to this concern. The purpose of the study is to determine what mentors working with students in companies in certain European countries think about mentoring after adoption of the Bologna Process. The research was based on analysis of written self-reflections provided by mentors who had participated in education and trainings designed for mentors. We wanted to find out mentors' perceptions of their work, their positive and negative experiences. This study's findings bring new insights into how the Bologna Process has altered mentoring and its formal organization. The effects of mentoring are both positive and negative. The findings are important for improving the quality of mentoring in companies and establishing an EU network of mentoring companies in the future. (HRK / Abstract übernommen).
Prispevek prinaša spoznanja o nalogah mentorja in mentorstvu v praktičnem usposabljanju in izobraževanju višješolskih študentov. Pri tem je na kratko opisan pomen formalnega mentorstva in mentorskega ...odnosa, ki je značilen za kakovostno mentorstvo. Naloge mentorja višješolskim študentom v praktičnem usposabljanju so najmanj raziskane, zlasti, katere so naloge, ki naj bi jih mentor poznal in tudi uresničeval, da bi lahko dosegel kakovosten mentorski odnos in mentorstvo. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, katere so pomembne naloge mentorjev za kakovostno mentorstvo višješolskim študentom. Raziskava je temeljila na analizi vprašalnikov z odgovori mentorjev, ki so se udeležili usposabljanja na Filozofski fakulteti Univerze v Ljubljani. Ugotavljali smo, katere naloge so mentorji navajali, kako so jih izvajali oziroma uresničevali v praktičnem usposabljanju višješolcev. Ugotovitve raziskave prinašajo nova spoznanja o tem, koliko mentorji poznajo in izvajajo oziroma uresničujejo naloge mentorja ter katere naloge so pomembne za izboljšanje kakovosti mentorstva višješolskim študentom.
Mentorstvo ni nekaj novega. O njem se je govorilo že v daljni preteklosti, konkretno v antiki, saj iz Platonovih del, ki so nastajala v letih od 427 do 347 pred našim štetjem, spoznamo, da naj bi ...tudi Platon imel mentorja in velikega učitelja v Sokratu, za katerega je bilo značilno poučevanje z dialogom (Garvey, Stokes in Megginson, 2009). Tudi Platon je nadaljeval vlogo mentorja, in sicer je bil mentor Aristotelu. Ta je začel koncept mentorstva, filozofijo poučevanja, ki izhaja iz obrtniške tradicije za časa Aristotelovega življenja, še bolj razvijati.
