OVERVIEW
This group
focuses on the pedagogical, relational and
emotional dimensions of coaching, teaching, and professional
development.
Working collaboratively
with external partners, group members utilise sociological,
psychological and education theorising to explore a variety of
contemporary issues. These include, but are not limited
to:
- Coaching
as a (micro)political, emotional, and relational activity.
- The
design, delivery, and evaluation of formal coach education provision.
- The
enactment of physical education policy.
- Teaching
and learning in Higher Education.
