Debrief

Overview

The Debrief dimension is directly related to the interaction that often takes place when a mentor and mentee meet for an intentional and deliberate interaction. Dialogic feedback includes a two-way conversation and questioning in which both the mentor and mentee initiate and listen. There is a natural flow to the conversation and there is not necessarily a predetermined outcome. Alternatively, monologic feedback typically involves the mentor as the sole initiator of and primary discussant and positions the mentee as a passive listener.

Mentor's role

Debriefing can be dialogic and collaborative with both mentor and mentee actively contributing to the conversation, or monologic, where the mentor leads and directs the discussion independently.
