Extending the research agenda on (ethical) coaching and mentoring in education: embracing mutuality and prioritising well-being

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a review of the evidence base on coaching and mentoring in education, to provide a commentary on literature published in the first 10 volumes of the International Journal of Mentoring and Coaching in Education (IJMCE) in particular and to offer some directions for future research in the field.Design/methodology/approachThis review and position paper draws on the authors’ knowledge of the extant literature on coaching and mentoring in education, their own research in the field and their perspectives as editors of coaching and mentoring journals.FindingsAmong the outcomes of their review and commentary, the authors observe that coaching and mentoring research conducted to date largely occupies two separate fields, and studies published in one field frequently fail to draw on relevant literature from the other or recognise the overlap between them. The authors highlight a number of additional limitations of the evidence base on coaching and mentoring in education and offer some potential means of addressing these.Originality/valueThe paper offers an original reflection on current research into coaching and mentoring in education. It is intended that the paper will inform the design and publication of future studies in this area to strengthen the evidence base and, in turn, inform improvements to coaching and mentoring practice. In particular, the authors hope to encourage the ethical deployment of coaching and mentoring which enhances, rather than inhibits, the well-being of all participants, while realising other positive outcomes.

INTERFACES INTERCULTURELLES ET MULTILINGUES D'ACCÈS l’INFORMATION ET AUX CONNAISSANCES

Article est une prise de position (position paper) sur l’importance de respecter la diversité culturelle et linguistique dans la conception des SOC. Ce respect constitue l’un des principes d’éthiques dans l’organisation des connaissances et considéré comme un des fondements des Droits de L’homme (Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme). Il reposera sur une brève revue de la littérature sur l’éthique dans l’organisation des connaissances (OC), le relativisme linguistique ainsi que sur les approches culturelles de l’organisation des connaissances (Guimarães, 2000 ; 2015) ; Favier et Mustafa El Hadi (2013) ; Mustafa El Hadi 2015) . entre autres, et de l’accès à l’information dans un monde de plus en plus globalisé.
