This article reviews successful dissertation mentoring practices, focusing on mentors' roles in aiding the completion of these degrees. Drawing on Kram's mentoring support framework—psychosocial and career/instrumental factors—the review employs qualitative meta‐synthesis to integrate qualitative research findings. The synthesis reveals that successful dissertation mentorship hinges on mentors' expertise, passion, care, and representation. Key findings underscore the value of trust‐building, setting high expectations, nurturing professional relationships, mutual respect, and encouragement. Moreover, career and instrumental support are crucial, encompassing accessibility, guidance, coaching, resource provisioning, modeling, feedback, and advocacy. The study highlights the alignment of effective dissertation mentorship with Kram's framework, spanning psychosocial and career/instrumental dimensions. It underscores the significance of tailored mentorship in facilitating doctoral students' successful dissertation completion and overall academic achievement.","PeriodicalId":35492,"journal":{"name":"New Directions for Teaching and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139276400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role of culture, beliefs about language learning and teaching had been studied closely to improve faculty/international students’ cooperation in academic settings. The research focused on the nature of the collaborative experience of a faculty member and a graduate teaching assistant in designing and implementing an authentic language learning experience into a graduate level linguistic course and the role of dynamism and chaos theory evident in this mentoring model. Participants engaged in collaborative planning of a language learning experience embedded into a graduate level linguistic course. Reflective journals of participants and assignments were analyzed to better understand the experiences of the collaborators and the ways their culture, beliefs, and mentoring model impacted andragogical choices for instruction and learning of participants and students. Through self‐study, the researchers explored their professional identity and their academic flexibility within the organizational boundaries. The results of the study unveiled the complexity and chaos of each phase of cooperation and how the participants applied flexibility to achieve a more linear teaching/learning process. The collaboration between American faculty and international GTA under the shadow of chaos twisted by culture, beliefs, and hierarchy could still generate novice andragogical practices in higher education to contribute implications for collaborative work across cultures and hierarchies.","PeriodicalId":35492,"journal":{"name":"New Directions for Teaching and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139277920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, they too often encounter many challenges along their academic journeys. This article suggests that the practice of mentoring might be enhanced by deploying Yosso's theory of community cultural wealth as a way for faculty members to acknowledge, affirm, and appreciate the capital that international students bring to mentor‐mentee relationships. Three forms of capital, in particular, are examined in relation to mentoring international students: aspirational, familial, and linguistic.","PeriodicalId":35492,"journal":{"name":"New Directions for Teaching and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135255542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also focus on a review of recent extant literature from the last ten years (2012‐2022) on the topic in three key categories. The paper draws upon a framework of connectivism and networked knowledge as well as a constructivist approach to learning. A constructivist model for digital mentoring builds on students’ needs, knowledge, and experience, seeing the instructor and student mentoring dynamic in multi‐faceted ways. Mentoring in a digital era draws on frameworks that suggest that mentors and mentees are part of connected communities, especially digitally connected communities. Digital mentoring has been used across both synchronous and asynchronous learning contexts (e.g., email, videoconference, etc.) and increasingly over social media (e.g., Twitter).","PeriodicalId":35492,"journal":{"name":"New Directions for Teaching and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135297999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As researchers work together in groups of increasing size to develop project goals and implement plans, traditional 1‐1 single faculty‐student mentor models are less relevant as students need input and guidance from the multiple faculty members contributing to the collaborative project. Instead, faculty‐student mentorship models would benefit from being re‐envisioned to facilitate faculty mentors advising multiple student team members and students seeking feedback from multiple faculty team members, while also facilitating complimentary student peer mentorship opportunities. In this article, we present a case study of how student mentorship support was initially designed and managed in a large, complex, and multidisciplinary collaborative science curriculum development effort: the Earth Science Experiential and Indigenous Learning (EaSEIL) project.","PeriodicalId":35492,"journal":{"name":"New Directions for Teaching and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135297995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
