Teaching strategies adopted in coach education programs: analysis of publications from 2009 to 2015

Abstract

De modo a superar as limitações e percepções negativas atribuídas por treinadores esportivos aos programas de formação, estudos recentes têm contribuído com importantes direcionamentos para seu aprimoramento. Assim, por meio da análise de artigos científicos publicados entre 2009 e 2015, este estudo buscou identificar as estratégias de ensino adotadas em programas de formação de treinadores de pequena escala, larga escala e universitários. A busca automática por artigos foi realizada nas bases de dados PUBMED, SCOPUS, Web of Science, PyscNET e SPORTDiscus, e a busca manual realizou-se em dois periódicos não indexados. Na busca inicial foram encontrados 731 estudos e, por meio da aplicação dos critérios de exclusão estabelecidos, 16 foram selecionados. Os resultados indicam que a maior parte dos estudos concentra-se nos programas universitários. Com relação às estratégias de ensino utilizadas, percebeu-se, de maneira geral, a utilização de estratégias que priorizam o engajamento dos treinadores esportivos em atividades que envolvem discussões em grupo e a reflexão. Com base nos artigos analisados verificou-se que as estratégias de ensino adotadas nos programas de formação de treinadores apontam pela tendência da adoção de abordagens centradas no aprendiz (treinadores), indo ao encontro das orientações internacionais para o aperfeiçoamento e a efetividade destas iniciativas.

Research review on coaches' perceptions regarding the teaching strategies experienced in coach education programs

“…The contextual findings corroborate the insights of Ciampolini et al., 33 in that large-scale and university-based CEPs appear to be the predominant contexts investigated by coaching researchers. However, given our strict inclusion criteria, overlooked sources may detail other contexts (especially informal material on small-scale programs).…”

“…The purpose of this research is to update and advance understandings about educational trends in CEP, how coaches are recognizing them, and to provide insightful and applied evidence for informing learning practice in future CEP. This represents a positive contribution that builds on previous research reviews 2,31–33 by analyzing the scientific articles published from 2009 to 2016.…”

“…32 revised the literature from 2007 to 2008 in relation to the main topics investigated in the sports coaching field; (3) work of Ciampolini et al. 33 continued by extending the period of review of the aforementioned studies by investigating research from 2009 to 2015 on the specific topic of teaching strategies adopted in CEP. In fact, work of Ciampolini et al 33 was the first attempt to specifically examine the educational approaches used in CEP.…”

“…large-scale programs used technology resources to integrate coaches from different places), as well as a common intention to engage coaches through discussion and reflection activities. 33 However, if current strategies in coach education support a trend towards learner-centered approaches, it is essential to not only identify the teaching strategies adopted in the programs but also how coaches perceive this change in the educational process. 9,11 This is especially important when it is considered that there could be possible resistance on the part of coaches who may negatively perceive the changes to their roles and responsibilities.…”

A systematic review of intrapersonal coach development programs: Examining the development and evaluation of programs to elicit coach reflection

“…This highlights the importance of intrapersonal knowledge in broader learning contexts, particularly in relation to learner-centred approaches. 60 Indeed, the current review highlighted the value of some BCTs like self-monitoring to be integrated within formal and informal coach development pathways. However, the broader nature of reflection within formal and informal coaching feel beyond the scope of this reviewand presumably has yet to be comprehensively targeted by coaching researchers.…”
