The Technological and digital development of the 21st century has affected the field of education and has raised the standards regarding the skills required by professional educators. Learning new skills is a necessity, which demands personal will and self-regulation in learning in order to keep up with the fast pace and achieve maximum learning results. Especially, primary and secondary school teachers need to acquire new skills, such as mentoring skills in order to be able to help their student’ s in order to develop cognitively and make them stronger psychologically.
For this purpose, it has been designed and implemented a technologically supported workshop, name "Apt2The Mentoring Labyrinth", organized according to the Zimmerman’s (2000) theoretical model of self-regulated learning, in order to help us explore and reinforce participants’ cognitive and motivational aspects. The research study in question on the one hand aims to examine how these aspects affect the acquisition of mentoring skills, such as communication, active listening, effective questioning, feedback and the GROW mentoring model, and on the other hand, how to lead participants acquire these skills.
The research study was conducted with a sample of 39 primary and secondary school teachers. Data collection was based on pre-test and post-test questionnaires as well as a questionnaire for participants evaluation and self–evaluation regarding mentoring skills acquisition. The analysis of the statistical results showed that all research hypotheses displayed that there was a statistically significant difference, with one and only exemption.
To sum up, result analysis showed that workshop activities enhanced self-regulated aspects and helped the acquisition of mentoring skills by the teachers.
