Mentoring, Student Persistence, Physics Teacher TrainingAbstract
Difficulties in adapting to the university context often influence freshmen's motivation to persist. A mentoring program can promote persistence by easing the difficulties in the transition to the University. Based on this, a study was carried out in a mentoring program of the OMITTED course. For this, a questionnaire was applied and interviews were carried out based on the Vincent Tinto's Model of Student Motivation and Persistence. The research was guided by the following research question: How the actions promoted by a mentoring program influence the motivation for the persistence of undergraduates in Physics? It was identified that the mentoring can influence freshmen's motivations to persist when mentors: prepare them for assessments; provide course and institution information; and inspire and motivate the freshman to continue on to graduation.
