EXCHANGE OF KNOWLEDGE. Exchange of knowledge emerged as another core element when building positive teacher mentorship relationships. Most of the participants perceived that both the mentor and the mentee should be ready to learn from one another for the relationship to survive. More than half of the mentees believed that mentors were the ones responsible for the exchange of knowledge as they were the more skilled and experienced counterpart. According to the responses, mentors were responsible for the demonstrating effective pedagogical approaches and transmitting subject knowledge. Pedagogical experiences were mostly shared through lesson observations when mentees attended their mentors’ lessons and was particularly useful to learn on how effective lessons were structured. Subject knowledge was generally transmitted through the mentor sharing materials and building a useful resource pool for mentees. There were cases when mentors suggested what to read, how to teach the topics that mentees felt challenged to explain, and sent all the needed resources for the lesson via e-mail regularly. This, in its turn, promoted the understanding of how efficient the mentor’s role was and the realization of the fact that shared knowledge and openness were interrelated and resulted in a deep respect for the mentors. Still, a considerable segment of the respondents supported the claim that mentors themselves should have been open to learning from their mentees too. The participants believed that there were areas where they could also contribute by sharing their deep knowledge. The idea can be illustrated by the given quote: “It is not a one-way process and mentors should also learn from their mentees. For example, we can teach them how to work with more updated versions of some IT programs or how to say something in English” (Mentee 1). The interviewees further speculated that xxxxxx’s interest in the mentee’s knowledge could have been an additional factor to feel significant during mentoring.
