| Description |
The following Master of Eduction thesis explores the dual role of teachers that also coach sports and the advantages or disadvantages that that role provides. |
| Abstract |
Although coaches are often teachers in educational settings, there has been little investigation into the dual role that these educators play. The subject under investigation is the role of the teacher who coaches sport and seeing what effects the role can have on the person. This project will explain and clarify the need to understand the role and why having the teacher-coach is either an advantage or a disadvantage to have within the role. A qualitative research method, using case studies and semi-structured interviews, is utilized to understand how teacher-coaches view their role in their unique educational dual role setting. The goal of this study is to understand the decision making processes as well as the benefits and conflicts that are different from other faculty. The procedures entailed were used to carefully select three teacher-coaches for the interview. They will be given a demographics survey and will then be carefully selected for interviews with questions based on role theory and the Coaching Issues Survey (CIS; Kelley & Baghurst, 2009). The process was then be transcribed verbatim to capture exactly what they said throughout the case study. |
