Abstract

In this paper, we discuss some of the recurrent issues in mentoring practices from the perspective of two distinct research field, exercise and sport sciences and educational sciences. We also presented different types of mentoring applications and specifically focused on e-mentoring. How to design e-mentoring content is also an issue in professional development models. The use of videos as contemporary approach that has emerged in recent years has been presented in this paper by giving examples from the relevant literature, and how similar applications can be carried out in exercise and sports sciences are discussed in this paper.
