Analysis of Novel Basketball Coaches: Pedagogical Content Knowledge Using Mixed Methodology Granda Vera, Juan Granda Ortells, Lucía Alemany Arrebola, Inmaculada Mingorance Estrada, Ángel Custodio Mixed methods research Pedagogical content knowledge Novel basketball coache Polar coordinate analysis Observational methodology The aim of this article is to know the role of learning tasks within the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of novel sports coaches in initial stages of sports training of children/young people and their impact on their daily work. Participants are two coaches in their first or second working year. A mixed methodology was used by means of polar coordinates analysis. The results agree with previous studies that established that (1) PCK of novel coaches presents deficits in task selection and modification, (2) motivation is the key factor determining tasks selection process, and (3) they do not know how much time they should dedicate to each task. Even so, better development was found in the PCK of the coaches. 2022-03-01T12:45:22Z 2022-03-01T12:45:22Z 2022-01-28 journal article Granda-Vera J, Granda-Ortells L, Alemany-Arrebola I and Mingorance-Estrada ÁC (2022) Analysis of Novel Basketball Coaches: Pedagogical Content Knowledge Using Mixed Methodology.
