ABSTRACT

Background

The training of coaches is considered central to sustaining and improving the quality of sports provision. In Parasport, coaches are recognised at the highest level of international sport policy as performing a central role in achieving important sporting and social outcomes related to disabled people. However, an emerging body of evidence suggests that formal coach education plays only a minor role in Parasport coaches’ development. To ensure equitable access and quality experiences and opportunities for disabled people in sport there is an ongoing challenge to theorise and implement the optimal structure for educating coaches.

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to address the central theme of disability and coach education reform in sport. The aim is to review critically the emerging literature on coach development in Parasport to provide some clarity and consensus on existing pathways and models for coach development, before outlining some potential ways forward for coach education.

Discussion and Conclusions

Starting with a critical review of existing research on coaches’ learning and development in Parasport, we then examine potential approaches to coach education, providing examples from existing research in coaching and the wider field of education. This is followed by some modest suggestions for coach education reform as it pertains to the inclusion of disability.

将残疾融入教练教育和发展：批判性审查和变革议程

摘要

背景

教练的培训被认为是维持和提高体育提供质量的核心。在 Parasport 中，教练在国际体育政策的最高层面被认为在实现与残疾人相关的重要体育和社会成果方面发挥着核心作用。然而，越来越多的证据表明，正式的教练教育在 Parasport 教练的发展中只发挥了次要作用。为了确保残疾人在体育运动中获得平等的机会和优质的体验和机会，在理论和实施教育教练的最佳结构方面面临着持续的挑战。

目的

本文的目的是解决体育运动中残疾和教练教育改革的中心主题。目的是批判性地回顾有关 Parasport 教练发展的新兴文献，以就教练发展的现有途径和模型提供一些清晰和共识，然后概述教练教育的一些潜在前进方式。

讨论和结论

从对 Parasport 教练学习和发展的现有研究进行批判性审查开始，然后我们研究教练教育的潜在方法，提供教练和更广泛教育领域现有研究的例子。接下来是一些关于教练教育改革的适度建议，因为它涉及到残疾的包容性。
