ABSTRACT

Educative mentoring positions mentors and mentees as co-learners within a collaborative relationship, while emphasising reciprocal learning. However, research exploring educative mentoring is limited to teacher-mentors, restricting our understanding of the potential learning opportunities an educative stance provides mentors in other occupational fields. Consequently, the aim of this research was to explore the learning of sport coach mentors, with a specific focus on whether they were able to learn reciprocally from their mentees in a two-way process. As part of a wider project, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 sport coach mentors employed by a sport governing body, with interview transcripts subject to reflexive thematic analysis. Findings indicate that when an educative stance is adopted by a sport coach mentor, they are able to engage with collaborative learning opportunities with their mentees, which results in possibilities for growth and professional development. Practical implications for sport coach mentor training are discussed.

摘要

教育指导将导师和学员定位为协作关系中的共同学习者，同时强调互惠学习。然而，探索教育指导的研究仅限于教师指导，限制了我们对教育立场为其他职业领域的指导提供潜在学习机会的理解。因此，本研究的目的是探索体育教练导师的学习，特别关注他们是否能够在双向过程中从他们的导师那里进行互惠学习。作为更广泛项目的一部分，对体育管理机构聘用的 10 名体育教练导师进行了半结构化访谈，访谈记录需经过反思主题分析。研究结果表明，当体育教练导师采取教育立场时，他们能够与受指导者一起参与协作学习机会，从而带来成长和职业发展的可能性。讨论了体育教练导师培训的实际意义。
