ABSTRACT

Positive psychology coaching (PPC) is defined as activating positive psychology (PP) in an applied and systematic way through coaching (Passmore, J., & Oades, P. (2014). Positive psychology coaching – A model for coaching practice. The Coaching Psychologist, 10(2), 68–70). Currently studies looking at how PPC is experienced by coachees are limited. While there has been some early success cited in using a PPC approach in professional development in education with adults (Zwart, R. C., Korthagen, F. A. J., & Attema-Noordewier, S. (2014). A strength-based approach to teacher professional development. Professional Development in Education, 41(3), 579–596. https://doi.org/10.1080/19415257.2014.919341) it is not yet known how teachers experience PPC. The purpose of this paper was to gain an understanding of how PPC is experienced by beginner teachers undergoing challenging circumstances. This initial explorative study adopted a qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) (Smith, J., Flowers, P., & Larkin, M. (2009). Interpretative phenomenological analysis: Theory, method and research. Sage). Four superordinate themes emerged: ‘perfectly normal to feel this way’; making sense and ‘joining the dots’; increased positive emotion; and, time to think ‘in an easy-going environment’. Further studies of the application of PPC in educational settings are needed.

摘要

。一种用于指导实践模型-阳性心理指导（PPC）通过训练（帕斯莫尔，J.，＆Oades，P。（2014）正面心理学训练定义为在所施加的和系统的方式激活正心理学（PP）的教练心理学家，10（2），68–70）。当前关于受训者如何体验PPC的研究非常有限。虽然在成人教育专业发展中使用PPC方法已经获得了一些早期的成功（Zwart，RC，Korthagen，FAJ和Attema-Noordewier，S.（2014年）。这是一种基于力量的教师专业发展方法。教育专业发展，41（3），579–596。https://doi.org/10.1080/19415257.2014.919341）尚不知道老师如何体验PPC。本文的目的是了解初学者在充满挑战的情况下如何体验PPC。这项最初的探索性研究采用了解释性现象学分析（IPA）的定性方法（Smith，J.，Flowers，P.和Larkin，M.（2009）。解释性现象学分析：理论，方法和研究。Sage）。出现了四个上级主题：“感觉完全正常”。有道理并“点点滴滴”；增加积极情绪；还有时间在“随和的环境中”思考。需要进一步研究PPC在教育环境中的应用。
