Abstract:

Introduction:
Teaching in a rapidly changing world requires us to be able to adapt to these changes. Today's higher education educators must keep up with today's pedagogical methods and technologies (Rapanta et al. 2021). Navigating complicated factors such as diverse student populations, new teaching methods, and student expectations. Education's role is changing from that of a traditional teacher to one of a facilitator who facilitates an active and meaningful experience for students. This presentation will examine TEMP (Teaching E-Mentoring Process), an alternative practical approach of mentoring for educators to reassess their roles. It is an individual online program based on online encounters between educators and mentors.

Methods:
Population Description- 56 academic lectures with different teaching experience were participated in, using the TEMP model.
Tools- The process will be accompanied by a set of three reflective tools that were developed for the TEMP model and includes quantitative and qualitative questions.

Procedure:
The TEMP model includes 7 steps: mapping educator's needs, mentor matching, selecting the lesson, active observation, one on one launching TEMP, Plan TEMP development and educator feedback on the process.

Results:
As following the TEMP program, participants reported improved teaching skills in three main areas: technical pedagogy, active teaching, and lesson planning and course structure.

Summary:
The TEMP model is designed to address the difficulty of lecturers in adapting to a changing reality and teaching in the new era. Following the process, 56 lecturers from different fields with diverse teaching experience participated in this process. They reported that the process positively impacts on their teaching style in other courses, raising awareness of active teaching, lesson structure, and the lecturer's role.

Conclusion:
The TEMP model based on a recorded lesson video provides educators with an opportunity to participate in the mentoring process in a safe and confidential environment.
In this presentation, we will discuss the model of e-mentoring as well as additional results. The model tool will be shared as well.
