The purpose of this qualitative study was to develop theoretical propositions regarding the perspectives that primary school teachers have of the mentoring of beginning teachers in Singapore Primary Schools.

The study also found that there is a correlation between the commitment level of the mentors, their level of intent and perceived potential benefits of mentoring. In addition, the findings also revealed the conditions that influence the efficiency of the effective mentors attributes.
