Expert Mentoring SD-1D-MEK

Doctoral students have the opportunity to work individually with an academic of their choice in the
form of expert mentoring. The mentor can be any academic teacher with at least a doctoral degree
who is employed at the Academy of Special Education and agrees to work with the student. The
doctoral student (in consultation with the supervisor) finds an expert who will help them acquire
appropriate knowledge or skills related to a specific issue concerning the preparation of the doctoral
dissertation.
After identifying the doctoral student’s needs, the mentor assigns a task to be completed and shares
specific knowledge and experience in their area of expertise.
Upon completing the cycle, both the doctoral student and the mentor fill out their respective reports,
outlining the topic, discussed issues, course of activities, and achieved results. The report serves as
the basis for the course evaluation.
