Taking on the responsibilities of a mentor teacher is not an innate skill and it is imperative that they receive professional support to develop their skills. Although several studies have made it possible to identify elements to be considered in the selection of mentors or in the development of training courses intended for them, they do not allow us to define in depth the nature of the experience lived by these teachers and consequently, understand the influence of this experience on the development of their competence. The objective of this research was to document the experience of mentors and to study the obstacles and levers that can facilitate the development of their competence trought Le Boterf’s agir compétent model.

The results of the analysis also showed that the highest percentage of meanings and ideas included in the program's episodes (what is hidden is greater), meanings that involve the values ​​of violence (47.4%), while the meanings of international terrorism (25%), and the meanings of the conflict ranked Third (11.5%). The results of the research showed a clear bias to one party at the expense of the other during the presentation of political issues, and in the light of the findings of the research the researcher has made a number of recommendations, the most important of which are: Increasing the effectiveness of investigative television programs, by increasing the time allocated to them. Supporting the staff working in these programs financially and morally, as well as allowing them to participate in training courses organized by Arab and international networks specialized in investigative journalism. Always ensure that the content of these programs is far from bias and imbalance, whether in the presentation of information or in the selection of personalities and sources, and that they have the following features: Presentation of divergent views (opinion and other opinion) within the framework of objectivity and address issues from different angles.
