Virtual coaching for child welfare workers – a tool to promote learning
Year: 2019
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: This pilot study considers the effects of a virtual coaching intervention on learning outcomes of an online training for child welfare workers. A two-group pretest–posttest design was used to assess differences in outcomes for participants taking part in virtual coaching (n = 27) compared with similar participants who received online training only (n = 300). The virtual coaching group completed significantly more training modules and perceived greater improvements in knowledge and practice than the no-coaching group. Findings suggest the importance of coaching to support transfer of learning and the efficacy of virtual coaching.
