Special Section: How Can a Mentor Support Experiential Learning?

Anne Lee

University of Surrey, UK, a.lee{at}surrey.ac.uk

Mentoring is an emancipatory act. Although the term `mentor' has been appropriated in some professions to include notions of assessment, the pure conception of mentoring is to encourage personal growth. Within this framework a trusted mentor can be a key person to help reflection. The mentor can help by encouraging questioning of the governing variable(s), support the mentee in their journey from the known into uncharted territory, and focus on learning opportunities.

Key Words: experience • learning • mentoring • reflection • thresholds
