Coaching in solving socio-psychological problems of higher education students

Abstract

In a typical economic model of higher education, it is assumed that students know how to behave. We assume that they know how to learn, how to set priorities and how to plan. However, given what we know about the pace of stable levels of education in higher education, this is an assumption that should be questioned. In all sectors of higher education, more needs to be done to increase students' persistence in learning. Foreign literature and research in economics, education, and sociology suggest that student coaching may be a way to help students succeed in higher education.
