        Peer mentoring could be mentioned as one of the novel approaches for professional development of university professors. The present study sought to propose a model for the peer mentoring program which could be employed by the professors of Teacher Training University. The statistical population included all the professors at the Teacher Training Universities and the sample were selected through criterion sampling which is considered as a variation of purposive sampling. The study data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 professors from Teacher Training Universities of Alborz and Tehran provinces. In the next step, open, axial and selective coding methods were used in order to analyze the data. Lincoln and Cuban criteria were used to ensure validity and reliability. The results of the research revealed thirty-five core concepts and eleven selected categories, which were organized and presented in the form of a paradigm model including planning and formulation of macro strategy, needs assessment, attitude, organizational structure redesign, revision and refinement of laws and designing a new performance evaluation system as the core subject and causal conditions (individual and organizational factors), contextual factors (environmental and organizational factors), facilitating intervention conditions (information and media literacy, professional ethics, support, mentoring relationship and job turnover, realism and revision in recruitment policy), limiting intervening conditions (politicization, materialism, weak human resource management, traditional view toward human resources, structural weakness, formalization and temporary view) and outcome (professional growth and development of Teacher Training University professors).

        In recent decades, various strategies for the development of human capital have been proposed by leading organizations. One of the best tools from the point of view of human resource specialists for this is the mentoring program. In addition, technological changes in organizational environments have doubled the importance of paying attention to online mentoring. The purpose of the present research was to provide a framework for educational online mentoring based on knowledge sharing for key occupations in the transportation industry. The current research is qualitative and based on the interpretive paradigm, which was designed using the method of meta-synthesis and qualitative case study. In the beginning, 23 articles were selected using the meta- synthesis method and after the stages of quality assessment, which were in accordance with the accepted standards, were examined. In the next stage, in the case study, using the method of purposive sampling, interviews were conducted with 30 people who were experts in the field of transportation industry. Then the articles obtained from the method of meta- synthesis and the articles of the interviews were analyzed and summarized. The results of the meta- synthesis and case study showed that the components of organizational culture, financial and budget resources, evaluation and control, support, communication, human resources, planning, organizational structure, environmental conditions, information and communication technologies are the dimensions of the original model of educational online mentoring. Also, each of these components includes sub-components that define the effectiveness of writing. Manuscript profile
