“…In the literature, community-based learning studies are recommended in order to enhance coaches' capacity to apply their knowledge and methods ( 55 , 56 ). Collaborative learning environments designed based on this learning theory are known to be effective in providing quality learning environments for coaches [e.g., ( 58 – 60 )].…”

IntroductionIt is widely acknowledged that coaches and physical education teachers play an important role in supporting holistic development in children and ensuring optimal performance in the training processes carried out to acquire fundamental movements and sport-specific basic skills. However, there is a need for further information on how both groups utilize and value different teaching methods during the training. The present study aims to examine the perceptions of coaches and physical education teachers regarding the use and value of teaching methods.MethodsThe “Coaches’ Instructional Methods Utilization Scale” for coaches and the “Physical Education Teachers’ Perception of Teaching Methods Scale” for physical education teachers were administered to 114 coaches and 115 physical education teachers voluntarily participating from three randomly selected provinces of Türkiye. The Cronbach Alpha values ranged between .89 and .93 for the “Coaches’ Instructional Methods Utilization Scale” and between .90 and .96 for the “Physical Education Teachers’ Perception of Teaching Methods Scale”. Descriptive statistics were used in research, t-tests in binary comparisons, One-Way ANOVA in multiple comparisons, and Tukey's test in determining the source of differences.ResultsSimilarities were observed in the most and least used methods by coaches and physical education teachers, as well as in their perceptions of the highest and lowest values for these methods. Additionally, coaches and physical education teachers exhibited similarities in their perceptions of value in terms of entertainment, learning, and motivation. It was observed that female physical education teachers had lower value perceptions among the levels of use of teaching methods and value perceptions according to gender. Comparing the usage levels and value perceptions of teaching methods by professional experience, significant differences were found in Exercise (B), Learner-Designed Individual Program (I), and Learner-initiated (J) methods for coaches, whereas no statistically significant difference was observed in value perceptions. Moreover, considering the physical education teachers, significant differences were found in Command (A), Self-Check (D), Guided Discovery (F), Problem-Solving: Single Solution (G) methods, and in value perceptions for the Exercise (B), Guided Discovery (F), Problem-Solving: Single Solution (G), Problem-Solving: Crating Different Paths (H), and Learner-initiated (J) values.

“…To improve coaches’ capacity to apply knowledge in the areas the present study findings addressed, community-based learning research has been suggested in the literature ( Gilbert et al, 2009 ; Trudel et al, 2013 ). Such collaborative learning environments designed based on the social theory of learning (communities of practice; Wenger, 1998 ) have been evidenced as effective in providing quality learning environments for coaches (e.g., Culver and Trudel, 2006 ; Stoszkowski and Collins, 2014 ; Duarte et al, 2021 ).…”

In the sports coaching environment, it is recognized that developing athletes’ autonomy and problem-solving skills are crucial to support holistic development and ensure optimal performance. However, there needs to be more information on how coaches use and value different teaching methods in training and how athletes perceive and value these methods. This study aimed to examine coaches’ and athletes’ perceptions of the use and value of reproductive, productive problem-solving, and productive athlete-initiated teaching methods. To this end, the Coaches’ Use of Teaching Methods Scale which is validated for the use of coaches and athletes, was applied to 70 coaches and their 294 athletes of youth sports teams purposefully selected from four cities in Türkiye. Data were analyzed by nonparametric methods, including Friedman’s and Mann–Whitney tests (p < 0.05). Although there were statistically significant differences between the responses of coaches and athletes regarding the use of different teaching methods in their training and the value they gave to these methods, both groups marked the frequent use of reproductive, occasional use of productive problem-solving and rare use of productive athlete-initiated teaching methods during training. The value given to productive athlete-initiated teaching methods in terms of enjoyment, learning, and motivation by the athletes was higher than the value given to them by the coaches. The study’s findings strongly indicate the coaches’ professional needs in their pedagogical knowledge, specifically on their value perceptions of productive problem-solving and productive athlete-initiated teaching methods and the capacity to apply them.

“…Estratégias ao ensino e desenvolvimento de práticas reflexivas são apresentadas pelos autores, tais quais a utilização da aprendizagem baseada em A reflexão na formação inicial de treinadores esportivos: considerações para contextos de estágios 09 problemas (PBL), a reflexão em incidentes críticos, intervenções de reflexão baseadas em campo, trabalho com mentores e facilitação da reflexão com acesso à pares (GILBERT;TRUDEL, 2006). A literatura tem apresentado avanços como iniciativas de aprendizagem por meio da reflexão com facilitadores como coach developers, mentores, comunidades de prática e espaços sociais de aprendizagem (BERTRAM; CULVER; DUARTE;BOYD, 2019;RODRIGUES et al, 2020;WERTHNER, 2013;LEWIS, 2021). Entretanto, o presente ensaio irá considerar a aprendizagem daqueles que ainda se encontram na formação inicial.…”

Treinadores esportivos eficazes são àqueles que refletem. Assim, a aprendizagem da reflexão apresenta-se enquanto necessária e, igualmente, desafiadora a quem aprende e ensina, em especial no contexto de ensino superior brasileiro, caracterizado pela lógica do acúmulo de conhecimentos, tendo como padrão o ensino prescritivo. Entretanto, o estágio pode ser concebido enquanto ambiente potencial à aprendizagem, tendo em vista o componente da experiência, necessário aos processos reflexivos. Este ensaio teórico objetivou, com isso, apresentar dois guias conceituais à compreensão e organização de processos de ensino da reflexão na aprendizagem de estudantes-treinadores nos contextos de estágios. Entendemos que os guias apresentados trazem subsídios necessários para docentes que visam fomentar o desenvolvimento de treinadores reflexivos em seus ambientes de formação.
