Mentorálás a pandémia idején: 2 év tanulságai

Abstract

"In this study, we investigate satisfaction with mentoring among primary school students in grades 7-8. We also investigate the impact of the pandemic on academic performance and interpersonal relationships. We are looking for differences between mentored and non-mentored students on these variables. For this purpose, we interviewed students participating in the Teach for Hungary mentoring programme. We also included unmentored students as a control group. In our quantitative research, we reached a total of 206 students in 4 schools in Hajdú-Bihar county in the second semester of the 2021/22 school year. Our aim was to conduct a comprehensive study to gain insights into the correlation between pandemic and school performance and the relationship with teachers and friends. In our research, the perception of the mentor is positive. The academic performance of those with a mentor deteriorated less during the covid compared to those without a mentor, and their interpersonal relationships were less damaged. The lack of a mentor-parent relationship was also noted. Our results can provide important feedback both for the programme and for schools interested in mentoring. "
