Effective Academic Coaching

Academic coaching has demonstrated positive relationships with students’ academic engagement and performance. Academic coaching promote learning by promoting self-regulation theory and self-reflection. Coaching has been shown to help learners develop self-reflection and critical-thinking skills by allowing them to examine their learning experiences, which Stelter, Law, Allé, Campus, and Lane (2010) highlighted as a prerequisite for academic success. Coaching assists students as they identify factors that can influence their academic experience and examine the learning environment by exposing students to self-assessment, reflection, and goal setting. The coaching model represents a non-evaluative teaching strategy based on 2 constructive feedback used by the academic coach to enhance student learning (Truijen & Woerkom, 2008). The academic coach’s feedback enables learners to identify areas of improvement and gain a deeper understanding of the learning experience and their own behaviors.
