Abstract

Mentoring as a form of strengthening the competencies of teachers
is widely accepted in the educational system of the Republic of Macedonia.
Generally, experienced teachers and those who are new perceive this process
as inevitable for strengthening and retaining quality staff. The goal is to
explore what teachers think about mentoring novice teachers in teaching.
In line with the stated goal, we tried to answer the following questions: Are
there differences in teachers’ views and opinions about the mentoring process
regarding their work experience? Does mentoring as a process contribute to/
for teachers’ professional development? Are there differences in views and
opinion of teachers for the mentoring process regarding their experience
and involvement in the mentoring of novice teachers? The obtained results
pointed to the weaknesses that the mentoring process in our country is
facing with. Although mentoring as a process is regulated by law, in practice
there are still inconsistencies in its realization, both from the aspect of the
approach and from the aspect of effectiveness. The recommendation to
schools is to try, in addition to mentoring, to offer other forms of support
to novice teachers and to try to support the teaching profession through a
continuous investment (staff and financial).
