How to Explore Coaching and Learning Environment

Abstract

Several studies have indicated that thinking meta-cognitively about their own body is important for athletes to improve their performance. For a coach, constructing an environment for encouraging an athlete's thinking is one of the important tasks to improve the athlete's performance. No previous studies, however, discussed how to construct its environment. The purpose of this study is to discuss how to explore a learning environment, based on both a case study of coaching by trials and errors and a trial of development of a software tool for visualizing an athlete's form.
