During the mentoring process followed in 6 months periods diaries were written along with hours of audio recording. The audio diaries had a positive impact on the individual professional development and showed that mentors would require a more effective integration of mentoring process into teacher training in higher education. The authors in their study made recommendations to increase the efficiency of the mentoring process.
