The purpose of this study was to examine the following research questions in Turkish coaching context: a) How do coaches perceive sport science research? b) Which sources do coaches utilize when obtaining the knowledge they need? c) What obstacles do coaches confront when trying to access the knowledge they need? Participants were 322 coaches (256 men, 66 women) from diverse sports and coaching levels working in Ankara. “New Ideas for Coaches” questionnaire by Reade, Rodgers and Hall (2008) was translated and adapted into Turkish for the current study. There was a strong concurrence between Turkish coaches in terms of the belief that sport science contributes to sport (%78). Gaps exist, however, between what coaches were looking for and the research that is being conducted. Coaches were most likely to attend seminars or consult other coaches to get new information. Scientific publications were ranked very low by the coaches. The barriers to the coaches’ access to sport science were finding out the source of information, being able to implement the knowledge that was obtained from sport sciences into field of coaching, lack of monetary support for the expenses about obtaining knowledge, and language barrier respectively. Coaches’ demographic characteristics influenced their perceptions of and preferences for obtaining new information. Strategies to remove the barriers could include providing further education opportunities for coaches and eligible scientific knowledge sources to ensure successful knowledge transfer.

Çaylak, Burak; Çakıroğlu, Jale (null; 2018-06-28)
The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions of a science teacher’s Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) components. To attain the aim of this study, two PCK frameworks were used as analytic and conceptual framework. Firstly, Magnusson, Klajcik, and Borko’s (1999) PCK model was utilized to determine the participant teacher’s PCK and its components. Secondly, Park and Chen’s (2012) PCK mapping approach was used to construct interaction maps. This study included a case study with a science tea...
