Becoming a ‘good coach’     

Frank Jacobs  Inge Claringbould  Annelies Knoppers 《Sport, Education and Society》2016,21(3):411-430

The purpose of this paper was to gain insight into how coaches problematized their coaching practices and the process in which they engaged to become what they perceived to be better coaches using a course based on critical reflective practice. We assumed that constant critical self-reflection would enable coaches to move closer to their individual idea of a ‘good coach.’ Scholars and coaches collaborated to develop course content. The course was built on principles of rational-emotive education. We drew on Foucault's conceptualization of self-constitution or modes of subjectivation and confessional practice and Knaus' approach to teaching for our analytical framework. Thirty-five coaches participated in this study. The data consisted of semistructured interviews, field notes, open-ended questionnaires and focus group. The results are presented per mode of change or transformation. We explored how coaches wanted to transform their coaching practice (ethical substance), how they defined a good coach (mode of subjection), how they worked on change (ethical work) and how they transformed themselves (telos). To gain further insight into this process, we also examined narratives of three coaches as they described why and how they changed. The practice of critical reflection seemed to meet the needs of the coaches involved in the study. They used it to continually examine their behavior and their normalized taken-for-granted beliefs and to transform themselves in the direction of their idea of a ‘good coach.’ Ontological reflection was seen as a tool and a process that requires continual practice.  相似文献   

全球劳动力开发:定义、概念边界和未来发展     

Ronald L.Jacobs 《职业技术教育》2008,(6):58-63

劳动力开发这一术语在教育实践者、政策制定者和学者间的使用频率日益提高。尽管如此,现有研究领域对其意义和未来发展的讨论还非常有限（Giloth,2000;Grubb,1999;Harrison ＆ Weiss,1998）。无论是从理论研究还是实践的角度,特别是考虑到劳动力开发项目可能带来的经济和社会效益,探讨劳动力开发的具体含义都具有非常重要的意义。  相似文献   

The development of critical being? Reflection and reflexivity in an action learning programme for health promotion practitioners in the Netherlands   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0  

Gaby C. Jacobs 《Action Learning: Research and Practice》2008,5(3):221-235

Public health is a major focus of government policy worldwide and an expanding area of practice that includes an array of professionals and disciplines. Since the 1980s ‘empowerment’ of individuals and communities to gain greater control over the factors that in?uence their health has become the focus of many national and local policies and practices. In The Netherlands, where the current study is undertaken, empowerment has only recently found its way in the health promotion discourse and a review study found that practitioners feel incapable to transform their current practice in line with the new discourse. Therefore, an action learning programme on empowerment was developed to support practitioners in this process and evaluated using a qualitative case-study approach. In this paper, the process and outcomes of reflection as experienced and described by the practitioners in the action learning programme, are discussed against the background of notions of reflection and reflexivity, critical being and critical pedagogy.  相似文献

The Educational and Behavioral Impacts of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Charter School     

Matthew T. Johnson  Cleo Jacobs Johnson  Scott B. Richman  Alicia Demers  Claudia Gentile  Eric Lundquist 《Journal of School Choice》2017,11(3):399-425

The Kauffman School is a public charter school serving students from low-income neighborhoods in Kansas City, Missouri. This paper used a matched comparison group design to estimate the impacts of the Kauffman School on student achievement, attendance, and suspensions. We found that the Kauffman School had large positive impacts on student achievement in mathematics, reading, and science. This paper also used qualitative data to explore possible mechanisms for the school's effects. We found evidence that the Kauffman School's hallmarks are being implemented faithfully, and that stakeholders believe the school's methods are having a positive influence on students' attitudes and performance  相似文献

A multi-campus usability testing study of the new Primo interface     

W. Jacobs  Mike DeMars 《College & Undergraduate Libraries》2020,27(1):1-16

Abstract

When the 23-member California State University Libraries merged integrated library systems in 2017, a unique opportunity arose to conduct multi-tenant usability testing on user experience in the Primo discovery service, collectively branded OneSearch. In 2018, librarians at five campuses conducted a round of task-based individual user testing on their separate instances, seeking to review individual campuses’ decisions about customizations designed to provide optimal performance of the system and provide insight into group decisions about our shared customization choices. Along with the findings of the test results and recommendations for enhancements to existing modifications, we discuss the challenges and opportunities that are present in conducting multi-campus usability testing and share recommendations for future consortium-based testing efforts.  相似文献
