Abstract

The validation of this questionnaire is an important tool for analyzing the knowledge and skills of coaches, as well as a better understanding of their practice context. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to establish the content validity of the Coaches’ Knowledge and Competence Questionnaire (CKCQ). Five specialists with doctorate degree for at least 10 years, academic experience and periodicity of publications with the theme in national and international journals participated in the validation process. Specialists evaluated 38 items of the questionnaire and assigned a score on a 1-5 point likert scale for each item in the language clarity, practical pertinence and theoretical relevance criteria. The content validity coefficient (CVC) was used to determine the CVCI of items and the CVCt of the total instrument of each criterion, adopting cutoff point of 0.81. The approximate results found for language clarity (0.92), practical pertinence (0.99) and theoretical relevance (0.98) presented values considered almost perfect and appropriate for validation. The content validation of the CKCQ is an important alternative for the evaluation of the knowledge and competences of sports coaches.

Highlights

The role of the sports coach as a fundamental element in the success of athletes and sports teams has been increasingly valued and recognized in the sports environment[1,2]
The results found in the study for language clarity (0.92), practical pertinence (0.99) and theoretical relevance (0.98) of the instrument CVCt indicate that the values can be considered almost perfect[19,20,23,26]
From the validation process of the Coaches’ Knowledge and Competence Questionnaire (CKCQ ), it could be concluded that the initial version of the instrument meets the language clarity, practical pertinence and theoretical relevance criteria, presenting almost perfect CVCt levels

Summary

Introduction

The role of the sports coach as a fundamental element in the success of athletes and sports teams has been increasingly valued and recognized in the sports environment[1,2]. Due to the complex nature of the coach’s action and to the holistic nature of his intervention context[4,5], the International Council for Coaching Excellence (ICCE) has suggested that coaches should present a solid background of knowledge and skills to successfully perform their function. It recommends that the activity of coaches should be supported by three major knowledge bases, namely, Professional, Interpersonal and Intrapersonal knowledge. In spite of the low presence of instruments for assessing coaches’ performance[11], among the instruments available in specialized literature to investigate the knowledge and/or competences of sports coaches[10,12,13], there seems to be an overlapping of aspects related to the dimension of professional knowledge to the detriment of dimensions of interpersonal and intrapersonal knowledge, as well as competences associated with such knowledge
