Abstract
Mentorship is a key feature of operational research training courses run by the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease and Médecins Sans Frontières. During the recent South Pacific paper writing module, the faculty discussed ‘hands-on’ mentorship (direct technical assistance) vs. ‘hands-off’ mentorship (technical advice). This article explores the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Our collective experience indicates that ‘hands-on’ mentorship is a valuable learning experience for the participant and a rewarding experience for the mentor. This approach increases the likelihood of successful course completion, including publishing a well written paper. However, mentors must allow participants to lead and take ownership of the paper, in keeping with a first author position.

Cet article explore les avantages et inconvénients de chaque approche. Notre expérience collective montre que le tutorat pratique est un outil d'apprentissage précieux pour le participant et une expérience gratifiante pour le tuteur. Cette approche accroit les chances que le cours soit suivi jusqu'à la fin, notamment la publication d'un article bien écrit. Les tuteurs doivent cependant laisser les participants conduire la rédaction de l'article et se l'approprier, en accord avec leur position de premier auteur.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ES"><p>La tutoría es una de las características principales de los cursos de capacitación en investigación operativa de la Unión Internacional Contra la Tuberculosis y Enfermedades Respiratorias y Médicos Sin Fronteras.

Según la experiencia colectiva de los autores, la tutoría ‘práctica’ representa una valiosa vivencia de aprendizaje para los participantes y una experiencia enriquecedora desde el punto de vista de los tutores.

Es importante que los tutores permitan que los participantes lideren y se apropien del artículo, en conformidad con la posición de autor principal.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group><kwd>operational research</kwd><kwd>capacity building</kwd><kwd>mentorship</kwd><kwd>South Pacific</kwd></kwd-group><counts><page-count count="3"></page-count></counts></article-meta></front></pmc></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
