%X BACKGROUND: The main goals of the renovation of study programmes were, in the majority of the EU member states, the unification and conversion of programmes that will enable the development of the EU into one of the strongest knowledge based societies. Modern study programmes emphasise the interconnection of practice and theoretical principles, which students acquire during their studies; therefore, practical training is one of the most important key parts of all study programmes. Consequently, an efficient system of competent and quality mentorship plays an important part, as mentors prepare individuals for entering the job market by developing their specific competencies in an authentic environment. OBJECTIVE: As many European Union member states have not yet established a system of competent and quality mentorship, the study presents a system of measures for increasing the motivation of teachers for mentoring students and achieving a better quality of mentorship. The study examined motives for mentoring students in practical pedagogical training. METHODES: The research included 62 teachers, who mentored students of the Faculty of Sport. The questionnaire used included 26 different motives. Descriptive statistics and factorial analysis were used for data analysis. RESULTS: It has been revealed that mentors decide to mentor students during their pedagogical training in order to develop their own professional competencies and to further their career ¨C to climb the professional ladder by acquiring additional points needed for advancing in the direction of a higher title. Both reasons result in a higher "status" in the work environment. CONCLUSIONS: It has been found that in future, a model of partnership cooperation should be established between the Faculty of Sport and mentoring schools; certain measures should also be introduced, facilitating higher motivation of mentors to carry out mentoring. Such measures would influence the practical pedagogical training of students to improve its quality and promote realistic preparation for working in a real work environment.
