Özet
The reverse mentoring refers to a new mentoring model in which traditional mentoring roles arecompletely changed, accordingly in this new model, less experienced teachers and the studentswho used to be “apprentice” in traditional mentoring are positioned as \"master\". However, it hasbeen observed that there are no systematic reverse mentoring practices in the Turkish EducationSystem through which the teachers can receive direct feedback from Z and alpha generationstudents about their classroom management skills, and also can improve their critical reflectivethinking. This study was designed according to the conceptual research approach. Afterholistically evaluating the important literature studies and theoretical information on theconcepts of intergenerational learning and reverse mentoring, the application of \"InstructionalReverse Mentoring\" as a new practice was discussed and evaluated based on the student-teacherrelationships, with its application stages, challenging, strengths and possible risks. In addition, analternative reverse mentoring practice proposal specific to education field regarding theintergenerational learning approach was introduced with sample implementation stages. Theresearch revealed that the researches in education mostly consist of studies focusing onproviding teachers with technological skills; that the studies which are specific to improve thequality of teaching regarding the expectations of new generations through critical reflectiveevaluations are rather limited; that there is a crucial conceptual gap in this field; and also that theinstructional reverse mentoring practice proposal set forth in the study can contribute to thespread of reverse mentoring practices in educational field and to professional development ofteachers.
