An Innovative Hierarchy Model for Integrating Research, Education, and Peer Mentoring

This model integrates research, education, and peer mentoring to empower students in gaining knowledge about their cognitive system. By teaching students how to access and process information differently, coupled with research experience and a trained graduate student mentor, their critical thinking ability will progress at a faster rate. This will lead to advanced analytical reasoning skills and the ability to transfer theoretical ideas to practical situations.

  1. An Innovative Hierarchy Model for Integrating Research, Education, and Peer Mentoring

  2. Empowering students to gain knowledge about their own cognitive system. • Central to increasing cognitive ability is “learning how to learn”. • Teaching students how to access and process information differently will yield upward mobility on Bloom’s Taxonomy. • Coupled with research experience and a trained graduate student mentor assisting in identification of connections and relationships, the undergraduate’s critical thinking ability will progress at a much faster rate. • These students will be able to initiate and answer questions, as a method of learning, which will promote higher order thinking, thereby changing the way they access information and directly affect information processing. • The newly developed method of processing information will significantly enhance the student’s ability to transfer abstract or theoretical ideas to practical situations leading to advanced analytical reasoning skills. All of which is facilitated through research experience.

  3. Developing metacognitive skills, having students develop a plan for learning, monitoring, and evaluating. Developing behavioral objectives that will allow the student to gain a better understanding of the parameters for self produced goal achievement guidelines. Having students monitor learning and thinking of a protégé through mentoring. Facilitating the development of study strategies with students that will incorporate research experience. Showing students how to transfer knowledge and fostering this behavior with a protégé during mentoring. Use learning strategies such as technology related projects, information synthesis, question learning, concept mapping, and group debate. Teacher Strategies

  4. Mentoring….More than teaching! Mentor is defined in general as a “wise and trusted counselor” 1 Mentors function in four roles2: • Teacher “one who teaches, imparts knowledge or skill..by example or experience” 1 • Counselor one who has “an exchange of opinions and ideas in order to reach a decision”, “a deliberate plan of action” 1 • Intervener “to come in or between so as to modify” 1 • Sponsor “one who assumes responsibility for a person or group during instruction, apprenticeship..” 1 1 Webster’s II New College Dictionary, 1999 2 Zey M. The Mentor Connection. Illinois: Dow JonesIrwin, 1984

  5. Synthesizing … LSU HHMI Mentor A wise and trusted person who assumes responsibility for another person to impart knowledge or skill by example and experience through an exchange of opinions and ideas in order to reach a decision for a plan of action which facilitates increased learning ability.
