Abstract
Academic perfectionism undermines educational success among adolescents in secondary schools. Here, we describe a protocol for a non- clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural coaching (CBC) on academic perfectionism of schooling adolescents. The study will also explore the influence of gender on academic perfectionism of in-school adolescents. Senior secondary school, class two students will be included. A perfectionism proneness checklist will be used to measure their levels of perfectionism. The study will use a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental research design involving one experimental group and one control group. Specifically, it will involve non-random assignment of subjects to experimental and control conditions and pretesting of subjects on the dependent measure before the introduction of treatment followed by a posttest after the introduction of the treatment. The CBC will be conducted using a 6-weeks problem-solving coaching plan. All functional outcomes will be measured before and after the CBC intervention. The data will be analyzed using the intent-to-treat principle.
