Abstract

Demands to re-embed coaching into its larger social context of operation have generated calls to better document the political aspects of this human learning and development process. To address this critical social turn, this empirical article explores the reframing by practitioners of their understanding of coaching practice, using a Freirean lens of oppression and emancipation. The study consists of a 9-month co-operative inquiry with a group of Egyptian practitioners engaged in a praxis comprising initial training and subsequent cycles of action and reflexive workshops about their coaching sessions. Our study found that a Freire inspired praxis led coaches to develop a dialectical understanding of oppression – moving from conflicting dichotomies to a dynamic view, which has implications for their attitude to and role in coaching. We discuss how the resulting politicization allowed the reframing of coaching as a social practice.

这是政治!一种将教练视为社会实践的自由人观点

人们要求将教练重新纳入其更大的社会运作背景，这促使人们呼吁更好地记录这一人类学习和发展过程的政治方面。为了解决这一关键的社会转变，这篇实证文章探讨了实践者对他们对教练实践的理解的重构，使用了自由主义的压迫和解放的镜头。该研究包括与一组埃及从业人员进行为期9个月的合作调查，这些从业人员参与了一项实践，包括初步培训和随后的行动周期，以及关于他们的辅导课程的反思讲习班。我们的研究发现，弗莱雷启发的实践引导教练对压迫形成辩证的理解——从冲突的二分法转向动态的观点，这对他们对教练的态度和角色有影响。我们讨论了由此产生的政治化如何使教练作为一种社会实践得以重构。
