Purpose

The purpose of this study was to describe teacher candidate perceptions of the influence of solution-focused brief coaching (SFBC) sessions on movement toward self-identified outcomes. The SFBC approach emanated from the London-based organization BRIEF: The Centre for Solution Focused Practice (BRIEF, n.d.).

Design/methodology/approach

This qualitative study engaged ten participants in two SFBC sessions. In the first coaching session, participants identified a “preferred future” and described what would be happening when it came to fruition. Coaches employed SFBC elements such as the “miracle question,” scaling questions, descriptions of strengths and recognition of resources already in place (Iveson et al., 2012). In the second session, following coaching, participants shared their perceptions and experiences of the SFBC process.

Findings

All participants reported movement toward desired outcomes, and their perceptions of the SFBC process revealed five themes: an increase in positive emotion, enhanced self-efficacy, value in the co-construction of their preferred future, the coaching process as a catalyst for actualizing their preferred future and adoption of a solution-focused lens in other contexts.

Originality/value

This study answers the call for additional research in three areas: it provides data from completed SFBC sessions, examines participant follow-up on progress toward their preferred futures and provides insight regarding the coaching relationship dynamic. In addition, it provides qualitative findings for the SFBC approach, which have traditionally been dominated by quantitative results.

体验未来：职前教师对以解决方案为中心的简短辅导方法的看法

目的

本研究的目的是描述教师候选人对以解决方案为中心的简短辅导 (SFBC) 课程对实现自我认同结果的影响的看法。SFBC 方法源自总部位于伦敦的组织 Brief: The Center for Solution Focused Practice (BRIEF, nd)。

设计/方法/方法

这项定性研究让十名参与者参加了两次 SFBC 会议。在第一次辅导会议中，参与者确定了一个“理想的未来”，并描述了当它实现时会发生什么。教练采用了 SFBC 元素，例如“奇迹问题”、规模问题、对优势的描述和对现有资源的认可（Iveson等人，2012 年）。在第二场会议中，在辅导之后，参与者分享了他们对 SFBC 流程的看法和经验。

发现

所有参与者都报告了朝着预期结果的方向发展，他们对 SFBC 过程的看法揭示了五个主题：积极情绪的增加、增强的自我效能、共同构建他们喜欢的未来的价值、教练过程作为实现他们的催化剂在其他情况下更喜欢未来并采用以解决方案为中心的镜头。

原创性/价值

这项研究回应了在三个领域进行额外研究的呼吁：它提供了已完成的 SFBC 会议的数据，检查参与者对其首选未来进展的跟进情况，并提供有关教练关系动态的见解。此外，它还为传统上以定量结果为主的 SFBC 方法提供了定性结果。
