Abstract

This research studies the possibilities and the hindrances of the implementation of the e-mentoring as a method of reception and support of the new entrant teachers in the public education. The sample of the research was 155 people (n = 155) out of 350 new entrant teachers study population (N ≈ 350), nonprobability sampling, who would be appointed in the primary education of the prefecture of Ilia, Greece during 2014- 2017. For the data collection, an authentic questionnaire was used, while the research questions referred to knowledge of legislation, functional penetration of e-mentoring, the opposition / the preference in relation to an alternative way of reception support of new entrant teachers and the homogeneity of the aspects. Also, there were held statistic controls using Pearson’s chi-squared (χ²) and Spearman’s rho rank correlation with significance level a = 0,05.

The results of the survey show at first that most of the new entrants have a confusing aspect as far as their support-assessment. Secondly, they are opposed with the new statute which they don’t consider as effective as the face-to-face mentoring. Furthermore, the sample is very homogeneous. Finally, in the educational community there are more technical skills as far as the introduction of e-mentoring than administrational ones. The pilot application of e-mentoring is recommended as well as its further consideration which has to do with the open learning of the evaluation in the public administration and the working stress.
