Graduate student development depends heavily upon effective mentoring. The ideal outcome is a scholar and/or professional who can work independently, not simply following in the footsteps and example of their mentor(s). In many instances, the developmental process requires the graduate student to be a mentor to others, whether that be for less experienced scholars (e.g., undergraduate students) or in a reverse mentoring role (e.g., guiding their faculty advisor). Effective mentoring is particularly challenging when the relationship is mediated through virtual engagement, which is the case for many online degree programs. The current article illuminates important considerations and strategies for success when facing these challenges. Particular attention is given to the openness framework, which highlights the importance of being open to change, feedback, action, and accountability.

研究生作为领导者和追随者：指导和被指导的有效实践


研究生的发展在很大程度上取决于有效的指导。理想的结果是成为一个能够独立工作的学者和/或专业人士，而不是简单地追随导师的脚步和榜样。在许多情况下，发展过程要求研究生成为他人的导师，无论是经验不足的学者（例如本科生）还是担任反向指导角色（例如指导他们的指导老师）。当通过虚拟参与来调解关系时，有效的指导尤其具有挑战性，许多在线学位课程就是这种情况。本文阐述了面对这些挑战时取得成功的重要考虑因素和策略。特别关注开放性框架，它强调了对变革、反馈、行动和问责制持开放态度的重要性。
