| Abstract: |
The decision I took to undertake the United Kingdom Advising and Tutoring (UKAT) Recognised Practitioner Advisor (RPA) provided the opportunity for reflection on how I approach academic mentoring. The process had three outcomes: it showed the variation in academic mentoring between policy, procedure, and both mentors’ and mentees’ understanding of mentoring, and it enabled me to both develop my own continuing professional development, and more importantly, to support taught Master’s students in their academic learning and development. I would encourage anybody in higher education to also consider undertaking the UKAT RPA. |
