eCanada: Measuring Mentoring Programs on Canadian Postsecondary Websites
Hobson, Kelly; Taylor, Z.W.
Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning, v30 n5 p551-565 2022
No studies have analyzed the presence of mentoring programs on Canadian postsecondary websites. Filling this crucial gap, this study examined the official websites of 96 Canadian postsecondary institutions -- which accounts for every university in Canada -- to assess the presence of mentoring programs. Results suggest that public institutions (n = 88) were three times as likely to publish mentoring program information on their website (4.7 programs per institution) than private peers (1.5 programs, n = 8 institutions). By province, institutions in British Columbia (7.9 programs per institution, n = 12 institutions) and Ontario (6.2 programs per institution, n = 30 institutions) published the most mentoring program information on their websites. Regression analyses reveal that better rankings per Maclean's 2018 rankings (p < 0.05) and larger institutions by total enrollment (p < 0.00) best predicted the total number of unique mentoring programs on institutional websites. Implications for research, practice, and policy are addressed in terms of Canadian and global institutions of higher education.
