This study extends prior research by investigating the relationship of synchronous, one-on-one academic coaching with program completion, comparing a random sample of students who participated in academic coaching to a matched sample of students who did not receive academic coaching in fully online graduate courses. The findings indicate that a previously observed relationship between academic coaching and persistence in online graduate students does not endure through program completion, although the relationship between several demographic and academic variables and program completion did remain statistically significant. In light of these findings, if the goal is to increase their odds of completion, it seems that students who are already engaging with an academic coach (due to either self-selection or faculty encouragement/requirement) might be encouraged to continue to do so. Moreover, a "booster" coaching session might be helpful. However, there is insufficient evidence to support the practice of requiring participation in academic coaching among students who do not do so on their own. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
