Traditional andragogy approaches often prioritise content delivery over connection, reflection, and well-being. The session explores the psychological foundations of coaching including humanistic psychology (empathy, authenticity), positive psychology (strengths and resilience), and Self-Determination Theory (autonomy, competence, relatedness) and shows how these concepts translate into classroom behaviours. It also introduces the GROW coaching model as a practical structure to help educators support student development and reflective learning. It aligns with FIP’s vision for professional sustainability and well-being, promoting both educator self-awareness and learner-cantered education, as well as with FIP Competency Framework in Pharmacy Education.
