Development of innovative forms of mentoring in modern pedagogical activity

The relevance of this study is due to the need to search for new forms of human development in the context of globalization, one of which is mentoring. The article shows the importance of this form of interaction with students as the most popular type of educational activity in modern pedagogy. The purpose of the article is to describe and disclose the best forms of mentoring using the method of comparative analysis, and to identify possible types of effective cooperation between teachers and students in a modern university. A brief description of the history of this type of pedagogical activity is given, as well as various forms of mentoring implemented within the framework of the pedagogical process are considered. There are five main types of mentoring that are actively used in practice at the pedagogical university. Both classical forms of mentoring, in which a more experienced and senior specialist transmits his knowledge to students, and innovative forms of interaction with students, which imply several levels of mentoring, as well as inverse types of cooperation, implying the work of a student as a mentor for a teacher, are considered. Special attention is paid to the importance of the mentor's control over the results of educational activities and the possibility of correcting mentoring activities. According to the authors of the article, mentoring has a high potential for further development and will allow achieving high results of pedagogical activity in educational organizations. The authors propose to update the principles of regulatory regulation of the institute of mentoring together with the methodological and pedagogical foundations of such a form of work with students, which has a high potential for practical application.
