摘要:Nowadays, mentoring as an educational form of Russia’s occupational activity is undergoing fundamental changes due to the variety of interrelated factors affecting the mentoring system. The requirements for the mentoring system itself are affected by these changes as well. Nature of the mentoring activity influences socio-economic, political, socio-cultural, pedagogical, methodical and individual factors. Compared to national experience, the mentoring activity in international corporate training practice is closely related to the use of technologies intended to transfer professional experience to novice teachers, to develop their professional qualifications, as well as to identify and develop their potential.
