Abstract

Each student needs to get guidance and direction to be easier to follow the learning process, so that the student can complete his study on time with satisfactory results. In this case the academic advisor should be able to establish effective communication with guided students. It is expected that academic guidance is not limited to giving direction when the students will do the registration, but also able to provide direction to students who guided in the learning process. This is evident from the results of interviews in this study where 100% of respondents in all UPBJJ declared the need for academic coaching for students. In all the UPBJJ areas it appears that the need for academic advisors is directed to the need for learning process and learning assistance services, where an Academic Advisor is expected to help students solve problems, both academic and non academic. Most respondents in all areas UPBJJ stated that the ideal ratio between lecturers and students is 1: 20. With a ratio of 1 lecturers to serve a maximum of 20 students is expected to establish good communication between academic lecturers and students so that the process of guidance and coaching run as expected. Student hope is that the academic coaching process can take place well so that communication runs smoothly. This is related to the ease of getting information and also in solving the problems encountered during the lecture process took place. In general, students prefer the process of face-to-face coaching because it can directly interact with supervisors and directly can receive answers to questions or problems they face. If the online coaching process should be combined with face to face because of the interview results also found none of the respondents who allow the path of pure online coaching, because anyway direct interaction is still needed for the establishment of a good relationship between lecturers and students. In order for the quality of academic guidance is able to deliver the students more easily follow the learning process, it is deemed necessary guidebook between academic supervisors with students who are guided either face to face or online.
