Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the role and nature of Model Based Instruction (MBI) (Metzler, 2005) and discuss how Instructional Models (IM) such as Sport Education (SE) and Tactical Games Concepts (TGC) have become embedded in the pedagogic delivery of a coach education programme for one particular sports governing body (the Englad and Wales Cricket Board [ECB]). This article will discuss how learning 'how to coach' principles have elements of MBI and reaffirm a view currently held by coaching scholars, such as Jones (2006) that current coach education discourse and physical education discourse actually contains more similarities than differences. This article concludes by recommending coach education teams engage in greater collaboration with experienced teachers of physical education as well as academics in higher education institutes (HEI's) recognised for their expertise in MBI.
