Social Media for Professional Development in Physical Education & Sport Pedagogy

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Edward Cope from Loughborough University to discuss his paper with Professor Christopher Cushion titled: A move towards reconceptualizing direct instruction in sport coaching pedagogy. Ed and I discuss what direct instruction is, how it has become something that has negative connotations associated with it in sports coaching, and why it, therefore, needs reframing. We also speak about Cognitive Load Theory and Mosston and Ashworth's spectrum of teaching styles. During the dicussion, we refer to various resources which can be seen below, including the paper by Ed and Chris. Ed and Chris' Paper: https://bit.ly/2SqBTfy Roshenshine's Paper on Direct Instruction: https://bit.ly/2GEG2Kl John Wooden Podcast: https://bit.ly/3iF2116 If you have any questions, please reach out to me at my email: harveys3@ohio.edu

Book Talks with the Dean

In this episode, I gathered together some 'soundbites' from Ohio University Masters in Coaching Education Students who had just spent a week on campus and six weeks prior to that learning about the features of Positive Pedagogy, At the end of the podcast I also get into a short discussion with Richard Light and Nick Hill, who have both previously been on the podcast about their thoughts about the week, too. These recordings were completed in the cafeteria so I apologize in advance if there is too much background noise but I think its worth it when listening to the student and faculty reflections. Students from Ohio University's Masters in Coaching Education program who participated are:   Geoff Barry (football) Nicole Brown (soccer) Aliou Diallo (soccer) Jame Langham (football) Kent Lupton (basketball) Chris Nelson (ultimate frisbee) Derwoyne Redmond (football and basketball) Terence Wright (football)

Reflections on using Positive Pedagogy

Richard Light

In this episode I am joined by Professor Richard Light, the founder of Positive Pedagogy for Sport Coaching. Professor Light works at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. His early work was in the sociology of sport with a focus on culture and embodied learning but over the past decade he has drawn on this work to inform a distinctive program of research focused on a socio-cultural approach to pedagogy and on the body's role in learning. He draws on learning theory and some social theory to inform this work. Professor Light has a broad background in teaching and coaching across a wide range of cultures, having coached and taught in Australia and Japan and having held academic positions in Japan, France, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. This background encourages him to establish a dialectic between practice and theory that is a feature of his research and his teaching. He enjoys a strong international profile, is widely published and has published in Japanese, Portuguese and French as well as English. You can contact Richard on Twitter at @richardlight11 or via email: richard.light@canterbury.ac.uk (work) or richardlight11@gmail.com (personal).

Positive Pedagogy Meets Performance Science w'Mike Young

In this podcast, I speak to various stakeholders from across the globe about the development of effective coaching cultures, pedagogies, and practices through the utilization of Positive Pedagogy as described by Richard Light in his 2017 book, Positive pedagogy for sport coaching: Athlete-centred coaching for individual sports.

Positive pedagogy for sport coaching

Nick Hill

In this episode I speak with Nick Hill. Nick is head coach/director of rugby of the Men’s Rugby Club at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). He took over the club in Fall, 2018. Hill has an impressive resume of international coaching experience from several different schools in the U.K. to schools and clubs in Chile. Along the way, there were self-funded trips to shadow the coaching staff of the Canterbury Crusaders in New Zealand and then again with the Ulster Rugby staff in Belfast. Hill is also a devotee of the Gambetta Athletic Improvement Network or GAIN for short. Nick believes in a player-centered environment. This is one where Games Based Coaching is used with a purpose for game action where players learn skills in the context of the real game, rather than just for the sake of a drill for drill’s sake. Players are encouraged to work things out for themselves and are not just told what to do. Guided Discovery questioning is one of the key coaching tools for Hill. This develops a culture that motivates the player’s involvement in practice as more than doers of drills, but active learners that take ownership of their development. You can contact Nick at: nickhillcoaching.com and he is on Twitter @NH_Coaching_
