The purpose of the study is to explore the experience of carrying out the mentoring system of higher education institutions in Taiwan. To achieve the purpose, the method of document analysis and interview were adopted. The results find that the universities started to offer this service from 2005. There are 42% of universities in Taiwan carry out the mentoring
service for their teachers now. The mentoring services try to use the experience of senior teachers to help the junior faculty to accommodate the working environment and the faculties with bad evaluation scores to improve their professionalism. The universities chose mentors based on the awards, working experience and status of the teacher. The approach, context and time of mentoring services are flexible and multiple. There are about 57% of universities offered some reward to mentors. Successful mentorship relies on the good and informal interaction between mentor and mentee. The new faculty can benefit from the mentorship by mentors sharing their experience in teaching, research and service. Some suggestions are proposed based on the results. |
