Abstract

Mentoring is a de rigueur concept, which has been widely practiced in organizations for a long time, and has also been observed in academic milieus in the form of one student helping another and an academician giving a hand to a colleague. Reverse mentoring, a new twist on this familiar concept, also has a long history and has been used in higher education as well. Academicians' empowering students as their reverse mentors is no longer a myth. How does a university president's benefiting from students as her/his reverse mentors sound? This paper aims to present a case study by exploring Maltepe University's experiences, whose president has delegated some students as his reverse mentors. The conceptualization through the findings has revealed the significance of such a mentoring system from which all higher education institutions can benefit. The findings of this case study demonstrate how reverse mentoring can clear up negative stereotyping in academia.

Özet

Son yıllarda, yükseköğretim kurumları tarafından sunulan hizmetlerin kalitesi, hem araştırmacılar hem de politika yapıcılar tarafından yoğun bir şekilde tartışılmaktadır. Şüphesiz, mezun olunan okul ile mezunlar arasında güçlü ve yaşam boyu süren bir ilişki, yükseköğretim kurumlarının kalitesinin temel göstergelerinden biridir. Bu çalışma dünyadaki en iyi üniversiteler tarafından mezunlarıyla yaşam boyu süren bir ilişki kurmak için kullanılan araç ve metotları incelemektedir. Çalışmada yapılan ankette mezunlarla iletişim kurmak için kullanılan kanallar, üniversiteler tarafından mezunlara sunulan hizmetler ve mezunların üniversitelerine hangi yollarla katkı yaptıklarına ilişkin sorular yer almaktadır. Anket, Times Higher Education tarafından yapılan 2016-2017 Dünya Üniversiteler Sıralamasındaki en iyi 200 üniversiteye gönderilmiş ve böylece en iyi uygulamaların belirlenmesine çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın literatüre ana katkısı, üniversiteler ile mezunlar arasındaki ilişkiye yönelik en iyi uygulamaların temel unsurlarını açıklamak ve bu ilişkinin iyileştirilebilmesi için uygulanabilecek politika önerileri sunmaktır.
