Abstract

Coach education continues to be an integral part of coaches’ learning journey, but their usefulness has also been questioned. Given the disparity in research findings, the purpose of this study was to further our understanding of the role of the coach developer in the learning process within introductory level coach education courses. Drawing on Moon's stages of learning and using multiple methods (observation, interviews, focus groups), we explored multiple perspectives (coaches, coach developers and researcher observer) of the activities and learning situations within introductory courses (judo, basketball, paddlesports). In total, three courses were observed, each lasting two days (48 hours of observation), six coach developers participated in an interview (45–60 minutes each) and 18 coaches participated in one of five focus groups (20–300 minutes each). Through our thematic analysis, we developed three themes: structure supports the learning process; National Governing Body resources are just a starting point for learning; a deep approach to learning can be facilitated. Our findings suggest that despite criticisms of large-scale approaches to coach education, they were useful to coaches and coach developers were able to facilitate some deep learning. Furthermore, the quality of coach education programmes was largely dependent on the expertise of coach developers in their roles. Questions are raised about the conceptualisation of learner-centred approaches to coach education delivery.
将学习融入情境":多方法、多角度探索教练入门教育的学习过程
教练教育仍然是教练学习过程中不可或缺的一部分,但其实用性也受到质疑。鉴于研究结果的差异,本研究旨在进一步了解教练开发者在入门级教练教育课程学习过程中的作用。我们借鉴了穆恩的学习阶段,并采用多种方法(观察、访谈、焦点小组),从多个角度(教练、教练发展者和研究观察者)探讨了入门课程(柔道、篮球、划桨运动)中的活动和学习情况。我们总共观察了三门课程,每门课程持续两天(48 小时的观察),六名教练开发人员参加了访谈(每人 45-60 分钟),18 名教练参加了五个焦点小组中的一个(每人 20-300 分钟)。通过主题分析,我们提出了三个主题:结构支持学习过程;国家管理机构的资源只是学习的起点;可以促进深入学习。我们的研究结果表明,尽管大规模的教练教育方法受到了批评,但这些方法对教练是有用的,教练培养者能够促进一些深层次的学习。此外,教练教育计划的质量在很大程度上取决于教练开发人员的专业技能。我们提出了关于以学习者为中心的教练教育方法的概念化问题。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching is a peer-reviewed, international, academic/professional journal, which aims to bridge the gap between coaching and sports science. The journal will integrate theory and practice in sports science, promote critical reflection of coaching practice, and evaluate commonly accepted beliefs about coaching effectiveness and performance enhancement. Open learning systems will be promoted in which: (a) sports science is made accessible to coaches, translating knowledge into working practice; and (b) the challenges faced by coaches are communicated to sports scientists. The vision of the journal is to support the development of a community in which: (i) sports scientists and coaches respect and learn from each other as they assist athletes to acquire skills by training safely and effectively, thereby enhancing their performance, maximizing their enjoyment of the sporting experience and facilitating character development; and (ii) scientific research is embraced in the quest to uncover, understand and develop the processes involved in sports coaching and elite performance.
