Abstract

This study examined the effects of 1:1 online coaching for college students on self-directed learning, learning motivation and time management. The coaching program consisted of motivation, behavior and cognitive control, which are sub-factors of self-directed learning. Total of 7 sessions(80 minutes per session) were progressed. Seven participants who wanted coaching, out of the total 16 participants, were assigned to the experimental group. A non-equal control group experimental design was applied. Dependent variables were measured by questionnaire before and after the coaching, and satisfaction survey and post-interview were also conducted after the coaching. ANCOVA was adopted to test the effectiveness of the program. The statistical results indicated that the learning coaching of this study has positive effect on self-directed learning and learning motivation of university students, and has partially positive effect on time management. In addition, the mean of satisfaction survey was 4.85 and participants showed positive responses on the program.
