Abstract

Given that coaches who enroll in coach education courses may have diverse levels of openness to learning about positive youth development (PYD), the purpose of this study was to profile coaches’ openness to PYD before, during, and after their participation in a coach education course. A multimethod approach that involved field notes, nonparticipant observations, and interviews was used to create three profiles illustrating coaches’ varying levels of openness. Participants were three male coaches involved in competitive and recreational youth sport who had been coaching youth for more than 12 years. The profile of Graham represents a coach who was open to PYD. The profile of Fonseca represents a coach who was partially open to PYD. Finally, the profile of Taylor represents a coach who had no openness to PYD. Results are discussed in relation to how performance outcomes remain a high priority in youth sport, compelling some coaches to pay “socially desirable lip service” to PYD without any real intentions to modify their coaching practice. Revised policies and funding models, developed with input from multiple levels of stakeholders in the sport system, may prove useful in inspiring more coach openness to learning about PYD. This study may help further our understanding on how coach educators can use differentiated pedagogical approaches that may help make PYD a worthwhile and tangible objective for coaches who register in PYD coach education courses. Moving forward, future investigations on coach openness could be expanded to other sport contexts and coach development systems.

考察教练员在参加教练员教育课程前、中、后对青少年积极发展的态度

鉴于参加教练教育课程的教练可能对学习积极青年发展(PYD)有不同程度的开放程度，本研究的目的是分析教练参加教练教育课程之前，期间和之后对PYD的开放程度。采用多方法方法，包括现场记录、非参与性观察和访谈，创建了三个侧面，说明教练的不同开放程度。参与者是三名从事竞技和休闲青少年运动的男性教练，他们已经指导青少年超过12年。格雷厄姆的形象代表了一个对PYD持开放态度的教练。丰塞卡的形象代表了一个对PYD部分开放的教练。最后，泰勒的形象代表了一个对PYD不开放的教练。结果讨论了表现结果如何在青少年体育运动中仍然是一个高度优先考虑的问题，迫使一些教练对PYD付出“社会期望的口头服务”，而没有任何真正的意图来改变他们的教练实践。根据体育系统中多个层面利益相关者的意见制定的修订政策和资助模式，可能有助于激发更多教练对PYD学习的开放态度。这项研究可能有助于我们进一步了解教练教育者如何使用差异化的教学方法，这可能有助于使PYD成为注册PYD教练教育课程的教练有价值和切实的目标。展望未来，对教练员开放性的研究可以扩展到其他运动环境和教练员发展体系。
