Abstract
In this study, we conducted a thorough review literature on the importance and effectiveness of mentoring STEM students by faculty, including those aspects of mentoring that promote mentoring failures versus mentoring successes, and reported on insights generated by a panel of experts who develop mentoring programs and train STEM faculty in mentoring. We conducted this review in order to provide a more comprehensive picture of what constitutes effective mentoring for these students, in particularly in light of research that shows the influence of mentoring on their academic self-efficacy and outcome expectations and the specificity of their career goals. The focus was on reviewing emerging research from the past decade, especially given the shifting educational and vocational landscape encountered by STEM students. This study adds to the literature by focusing on the needs and mentoring strategies for STEM students compared to much of the literature that focuses more broadly on college students in general; and by delineating components that would be salient for inclusion in a best practices model for mentoring STEM students by faculty.
