- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate Canada's National Coaching Certification Program's Make Ethical Decisions (MED) coach education module. Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick's (2007) model for evaluating training programs was used to frame this study. The study was comprised of two separate phases. In phase one, after completion of the module, 30 coaches participated in a semi-structured interview. The results of this phase of the study indicated that the vast majority of coaches were satisfied with the module and reported that the module impacted their decision-making. Given the recommendations made by the coaches interviewed, namely that the MED module would benefit from the addition of more content information on ethical dilemmas in sport, a second phase of the study was added. In phase two, 3742 coaches completed an on-line questionnaire. The participants identified the types of ethical dilemmas most commonly encountered as well as their desire for further education on these issues in sport. Recommendations are proposed for improving the Make Ethical Decisions module and addressing ethical coaching in general.
