SOUZA, Ana Paula Gestoso de  e  REALI, Aline Maria de Medeiros Rodrigues. Mentoring practices and projected images of the processes: two case studies. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.14, e4142119.  Epub 09-Out-2020. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271994142.

This exploratory research focuses on the work of two novice mentors - experienced teachers - and highlights their mentoring practices, the projected images of the performed processes and, their relationships. We understand those practices as intentional actions directed to their demands - derived from continuous interpretation and decision-making processes - that aim to promote the mentees’ teacher professional learning. We analyzed the mentors' practices over 19 months as the interactions they established with the novice teachers they mentored. It was observed that each mentor is constructing a personal mentoring style. In this process, they interpret themselves inserted in a specific context, and they develop their responses to the situations faced. Their mentoring behaviors and practices reveal how much they rely on their teaching practices, while also demonstrating that they make decisions, act, and recognize themselves as mentors. It is evidenced that they are building a framework for mentoring. The construction of one’s way of seeing oneself as a mentor and acting as such reveals patterns of mentoring, the characteristics of social, teaching and cognitive presences and the specificities of each interaction, and, in a way, the learning of experienced teachers in this process.
