The Effect of Academic Coaches on Non-Traditional Student Performance in an Intensive Online Learning Program
Park, Sunyoung; Robinson, Petra A.
American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education 2020 Conference (Online, Oct 27-30, 2020)
The purpose of this study is to examine how academic coaches impact non-traditional student performance in a time-intensive online learning program for pursuing a master's degree in a public university. By adopting the analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique, we compared the academic performance of students in three courses with different numbers or styles of academic coaches. The findings indicated that the average score of students was higher when students received more feedback from an academic coach, and they had an academic coach in class.
