“…Economic development has brought great material enrichment, accompanied by the popularity of pragmatism, hedonism, and consumerism in the whole society. These influences will inevitably affect the campus, erode the value tendency of teachers and students, and eventually cultivate a group of graduates with poor humanistic foundation and narrow cultural vision, resulting in the loss of overall balance in talent development [2]. Although the state and the Du Hui have paid enough attention to promoting quality education in recent years, they still only pay attention to the teaching of knowledge and do not pay attention to the cultivation of students' subject consciousness due to the limitations of the university education system, resulting in the insufficient development of students' personality and lack of creativity [3].…”

In order to better improve the cultivation goal of college students’ humanistic spirit, this paper puts forward the research on the role of English reading based on embedded sensor system in the cultivation of college students’ humanistic spirit. Embedded sensor system is used to carry out college English reading teaching in the humanistic teaching content in the teaching process. In addition, the evaluation index of college students’ English reading humanistic spirit cultivation is constructed, in order to achieve the goal of improving English reading teaching and task spirit training.

“…Collaborative approaches to coach education need to be prioritised to illicit coach learning and long-lasting change. [24][25][26] Moving forward, Vygotsky's work holds great potential for coach education and coaches. Drawing on Jones and colleagues 18 theoretical work and potential suggestions, coaches and coach educators can draw on their suggestions and apply Vygotskian ideas in empirical studies.…”

Although there seems a willingness to adopt pedagogical approaches that address the complexity of team games, there is little guidance as to how. Transforming coaching practice does not happen overnight, therefore developing non-linear approaches to coaching assumes the development of new knowledge. These approaches to coaching privilege social interaction and the use of questioning in the coaching process, which is far removed from the traditional approach to coaching. Greater exploration is needed as to how to support coaches in developing their application of non-linear coaching practices to support transformative coach learning. Research identified the challenges coaches face when trying to incorporate questioning into their practice. Recognising the pedagogical nature of coaching, this paper draws on Lev Vygotsky to support coaches in improving their coaching with game-centred approaches and the use of questioning. The study aim was to improve my practice as a coach educator to enhance rugby coaches’ understanding and application of the game-centred approach. It involved a group of six student rugby coaches. Using action research, coaches delivered an 11-week rugby programme to a class of year 5 children. Findings emphasised the importance of social interaction, privileging the use of language in developing coach autonomy. Providing time to build a collaborative relationship between the educator and coach assisted coach development. The major contribution this paper makes is to illustrate the value of effective questioning. The importance of questioning cannot be understated in coaching and coach education, with it leading to social interaction and facilitating opportunities to develop co-construction of new knowledge.

“…In contrast, the broader field of expertise literature shows a rich tradition of appreciative inquiry into the skill of practitioners with high levels of expertise and comparison with novices ( 12 – 17 ). The notion of appreciative inquiry employs methods which emphasise the skill and expertise of individuals, rather than focusing on what needs fixing within a domain ( 18 ). In this sense, Hoffman ( 19 ) appreciates an individual with expertise to be is someone who is;…”

Within the domain of coach education researchers have long called for a paradigm shift, whereby the quality of coaching practice is no longer measured against a checklist of prescribed competencies. This desire to evolve coach education and development, has been aligned to the need to better identify, understand and utilise what adaptive skill and expertise looks, sounds and feels like across specific sport coaching contexts. This paper outlines a broader research plan for the Premier League to drive the progress of research informed practice, in turn shaping a coach development agenda focused on developing adaptive and skilful coaches within Academies. In turn, this is a core feature of the Premier Leagues institutional aim of developing the most skilful coaches in the world. However, in order to begin the process of initiating such a shift in the way things work, there is a need to seek first to understand, before being understood. Therefore, to demonstrate an evidence informed basis to this shift within coach education and development, we ask three questions; (1) Do we understand what the coaches with the highest level of expertise can do? (2) How should we identify coaches with expertise across different contexts? (3) What does coaching expertise research need to do? In answer to these questions, we present the lack of empirical investigation previously conducted in the sports coaching discipline to explore coaching expertise and draw on wider domains to offer possible capacities of skilful coaches who possess expertise. To identify coaches with expertise, coherent with the broader expertise literature, we suggest that this is best conducted via means of social validation. Finally, we offer a road map of investigation designed to explore expertise, formed of a mix of evidence informed methodologies which have not yet been utilised in sport coaching research.
