Integration of Deliberate Practice and Peer Mentoring

Question: Discuss about the Integration of Deliberate Practice and Peer Mentoring. Answer: Introduction: Formal feedback needs to be more structured on the basis of plans. It includes appraisals and discussion of a specific work. Whitehead et al. (2013) suggested that mentor needs to give feedback to a student personally. For example, if the mentor is not happy on the performance of a student, he may criticise the feedback at the corridor after a serious work (Ross, Bruderle Meakim, 2015). Mentor should not demotivate the students, which may have reverse effect. Informal development feedback Informal feedback is a chance to express the appreciation of anothers effort (Ross, Bruderle Meakim, 2015). Mentors can give the feedback to a student at the day end after a hard working shift. For example, the mentor can appraise the good work of the student as a review to motivate the student so that the productivity of the student can develop (Whitehead et al. 2013). References Ross, J.
