A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.

Abstract

In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of a coaching innovation provided by teachers in primary education, based on exploring and using students’ core qualities. This thesis focused specifically on the effects on students’ happiness and self-concept, and whether gender played a moderating role in these effects. To research this, staff of 11 primary schools were trained in Core Quality Coaching and the innovation took place for a year. A sample of students (N = 390) filled in a questionnaire before the innovation, and a sample (N = 244) filled in the same questionnaire after the innovation. No effects were found of coaching on happiness and self-concept, nor had gender a moderating effect. Although no evidence was found to support the hypotheses, previous research still gives enough indication that Core Quality Coaching can have positive outcomes in primary education. Further research could investigate these effects in different settings, with stricter monitoring of the implementation, or with a different research design.
