Mentoring as a research field
The research field is mentoring as a strategy for teaching and learning in teacher education, in professional communities and for newly qualified teachers and kindergarten teachers.
Mentoring as a research field is closely related to professional education and professional work. ViPU therefore has a close collaboration with the Academic Group for mentoring at USN, whose most important tasks are to teach in mentor educations and theoretical and practical quality development of the field.
