Margalit Ben-Yehuda’s article presents a personal-academic coaching program designed to help students improve both their academic performance and personal growth through individualized coaching and structured techniques. The program is based on empirical research comparing a group of coached students to a control group that did not participate in the process. Key Data:
- The study included dozens of students from diverse backgrounds.
- The program consisted of several one-on-one coaching sessions, focusing on time management, goal setting, self-confidence building, and stress management.
- Results indicated a significant improvement in academic performance and self-efficacy among the coached students compared to the control group.
Conclusions and Recommendations: The study suggests that personal-academic coaching can be an effective tool for enhancing academic success and personal development. It is recommended that similar programs be integrated into academic institutions, particularly for students facing personal or academic challenges. Additionally, expanding the program to include group support alongside individual coaching could further enhance its impact. Link to the full article >>
