The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of coaching-based leadership course on the internal developmental assets of high school students. Quasi-experimental method was used in the study. 127 tenth-grade participants, who were distributed to the treatment group, took a 3-month coaching-based leadership course, designed by the researcher, whereas the additional 134 participants, who were in the controlled group, did not take the course. The pre-test and the post-test for the six internal developmental assets, including “learning commitment”, “positive value”, “decision making”, “problem solving”, “interpersonal communication” and “goal attainment”, were made to measure changes on the assets after the intervention of the course. The data collected was analyzed by paired t- test and one-way ANCOVA. In addition, feedback questionnaire response and focus group interview were used to understand deeply the impacts of the coaching-based leadership course on the developmental asset variables. The findings are as follows: (1)The internal developmental assets of the participants in the treatment group demonstrate high and were significantly improved. However, the assets of the controlled group show moderately high and significantly decline. (2)The coaching-based leadership course demonstrates positive and significant influence on the internal developmental assets. In light of the results, suggestions are made to educational administrative authorities, teachers, and students and as reference for future research.
