- The coaching intervention models in STEM courses did contribute to student semester-to-semester persistence for Latino community college students. The intervention group had a retention rate of 90% while the non-intervention group had a retention rate of 79%.
- Students that participated in the coaching intervention also performed better in comparison to students that did not have the coaching intervention.
- When students participate in courses that include a coaching intervention, those students will achieve statistically significant better persistence rates and higher overall grade point averages.
- Based on the results of this study, recommendations are made for changes to practice that would encourage the incorporation of coaching intervention models throughout STEM course curriculum so that improvements in overall student success in STEM studies can be achieved.
