HI Oyetola,

I am posting some great links on reverse mentoring in higher education including a master of science thesis submission, hope this will give you some insightful information.

Best wishes,

Sofiane

Thank you for the links Sofiane

Your are welcome Oyetola.

In my experience Mentors almost always take on the stance of knowing everything from their experience and giving advice to the mentee in that direction. In my view all mentors should be trained in coaching techniques (but few are) so they can help the mentee find their own solutions and only impart guidance (preferably ideas for consideration) when the mentee is stuck. If the mentor is not in a mindset where they want to learn too (including from the mentee) and forego their ego, outcomes will be less than the best it could have been.

Thank you John for sharing your idea.

You are welcome Oyetola. Good luck with the research project

Hi Oyetola

Yes, I agree with you that both knowledge sharing and self-efficacy would be the potential techniques for reverse mentoring among academics in higher education. On top of that, talent development, engagement and inclusion are HRD practices that could enhance the process of reverse mentoring.

Thank you Roziah for your idea on the HRD practices to enhance reverse mentoring
