MENTORING AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING SUBJECTIVITY TEENAGERS IN A SUMMER SCHOOL CAMP

Abstract

The article presents a fragment of a pilot pedagogical experiment on the development of adolescents’ subjectivity in a school summer camp, which is an element of the school’s additional education system during the holidays. The article describes the role of mentoring based on the principle of “peer teaching.” Mentoring in the form of “peer-to-peer” is used as a means of developing adolescents’ subjectivity. The pedagogical experiment involved 130 adolescents aged 11-17. Among the respondents, 30 people represented the group of mentors – teenagers “G (n-p)” and 100 people made up the group of students – teenagers “G (o-p).” The conducted research revealed a positive dynamics in the levels of development of the subjectivity of teenagers of both groups on the basis of the use of mentoring in the form of “teenager – teenager.” The empirical data obtained allowed us to conclude that mentoring in the form of “teenager – teenager” is possible and effective as a means of developing the subjectivity of teenagers in a school summer camp.
