This thesis explores concept of mentoring among pastors of the Church of the Brethren denomination in the Czech republic. The text is divided into four chapters. Individual chapters first introduce the basic terminology, theoretical and historical definition of mentoring, participants, key principles and forms of mentoring. Subsequently, attention is focused on the analogues of mentoring in church history, on medieval spiritual accompaniment, on the role of the spiritual and finally on mentoring among preachers, pastors and vicars nowadays. The text also deals with the issue of roles and competencies of the mentor with a focus on the mentor of spiritual workers. Part of this thesis is a quantitative research survey, which examines the practice of mentoring among preachers and vicars of the Church of the Brethren, identifies competences of their mentors and also the key topics of mentoring meetings. Key words: mentoring, mentor, competence, pastor, vicar, spiritual accompaniment

The U.S. shortage of qualified nursing teachers and researchers is affecting national health care outcomes. Methods such as fast-tracking Baccalaureate nurses into graduate programs and embedding leadership development early into nursing curricula have been proposed to address faculty and research shortages. Early interest in nursing research careers increases likelihood of enrollment in graduate education. One way undergraduate nursing students may develop an interest in research careers is through a mentored apprenticeship with research-active faculty. In this thesis, the author uses an autoethnography methodology to examine the benefits that a mentored research apprenticeship model brought to her undergraduate experience. Her experience incorporated a variety of roles in an adolescent intervention program with Dr. Anne Norris (PI) at the University of Central Florida College of Nursing. Several themes about the experience were defined in the results. Early research exposure that socializes a student to the nursing research world may provide a means for addressing the nursing faculty shortage. This socialization can generate interest in a research career and promote undergraduate students with the essential tools and insights needed to pursue this career pathway. However, findings from this study suggest a student-mentor relationship early in the undergraduate education experience is essential.

Cette recherche porte sur la régulation de l’activité des masseurs-kinésithérapeutes, en situation tutorale.Nous nous proposons d’analyser les feedback de régulation privilégiés par les tuteurs à partir d’entretiens de régulation filmés post situation professionnelle. Nous étudions en parallèle la présence de marqueurs de régulation de la conception de l’activité dans le discours du stagiaire. Les thématiques abordées lors des interactions ainsi que les dilemmes/problématiques (Clot, 2014, 2000) exprimés par chacun des acteurs sont explorés, par l’usage de la méthodologie des entretiens d’autoconfrontation et de l’analyse de contenu (Bardin, 2007), dans une approche compréhensive du processus de régulation. Le cadre théorique prend appui sur l’apprentissage professionnel accompagné (Jorro et al, 2016) et la régulation des apprentissages (Allal, 2007), empruntés au champ de la formation des adultes. Les résultats obtenus, relatifs à l’analyse de l’activité de huit dyades associant tuteur et stagiaire, sont l’identification des feedback privilégiés par les tuteurs et des différentes modalités de régulation tutorale favorisant l’expression de la régulation de la conception l’activité par le stagiaire, ainsi que la mise au jour de marqueurs de régulation dans le discours de celui-ci et des éléments de contexte influençant le processus de régulation. Nous proposons une typologie des régulations de l’activité, celles réalisées par le régulateur (le tuteur) et celles exprimées par le régulé (le stagiaire ou le tutoré). / This research focuses on the regulation of the activity of physiotherapists in a mentoring context. To carry out our survey, we implemented video regulation interviews with eight dyads in the context of mentor regulation and exchanges between tutor and tutee, following a clinical learning situation. We opted for a discursive approach to analyse the types of regulation feedback favoured by mentors. We also examined regulation signs which correspond to regulation intents in tutee’s discourses. The content analysis methodology (Bardin, 2007) allowed us to highlight the topics most often discussed during the interactions which sustain the regulation interviews, in relation to professional representations. The self-confrontation interviews method enabled us to understand the regulation process: it allows to probe into the tutor and tutee dilemma inherent to regulation interviews, along with Clot (2014, 2000). The theoretical references come mainly from the field of adult training, for instance “accompanied professional learning” (Jorro et al, 2016) and the regulation of learning (Allal, 2007). Our results are manyfold: informative feedback is more used by the tutor than reflexive feedback or evaluation feedback. The tutees express their intentions to change their practices for improvement in varying proportions during both the regulation and the self-confrontation interviews. We could identify the mentoring feedback which best favours the student’s mental process of regulation practice. We also singled out the words used by the tutee, which are evidence of the regulation process at stake during the activity conception. We finally suggest a classification of the various activity regulations.
