Teacher-coach-student Coaching Model: A Vehicle to Improve Efficiency of Adult Institution

The escalating success of coaching and the significant potential it holds as a vehicle for effective learning for individuals and groups appear to have had little impact within educational contexts to date. In response, this paper therefore presents an introduction to coaching practice and its principle and outcomes and examines its processes through a discussion of adult learning theory and comparing the principle of this theory with coaching principle and frameworks. In doing so, it demonstrates the learning value inherent within the coaching framework and challenges educators to consider its potential as a model for active, collaborative, authentic and engaging learning for adult.
