Coaching for Raising Awareness Towards Research Project Planning and Management Using Grow Group Awareness Model
Higher education institutions recruit talented research students from around the world as they contribute to human resources, income generation, innovation, and research outputs. Research degrees require research students to work independently, with some support from research supervisors. Students tend to face different kinds of challenges that might be beyond the role of supervisors and mentors. In addition, completion rate and empowering research students to achieve the best outcomes during their research journeys is at the heart of institutes' research agendas. Coaching can be a very powerful tool to support this talented group in higher education to help them in overcoming obstacles and/or raise performance to achieve the best outcomes during research projects timeframes. This chapter explores the use of coaching to raise awareness about research project planning and management, proposing a planning and delivery model for group coaching for raising awareness known as the grow group awareness model.
