One and a half years ago, on March 1, 2021, our project “Questioning Sequences in Coaching” officially started with our kick-off meeting, which, due to the pandemic and the distance between the three teams, had to take place online. With the project’s duration of three years this means that we are now halfway into the project and can proudly look back at various major milestones:
Progress
- The project’s web presence was created and is maintained and updated regularly
- Data was collected by the project teams from all three countries and were or are currently being transcribed
- A category system for coaching-specific question types was developed and put to the test
- Additionally, a category system for the types of question sequences was developed (for the positions -2, -1, 2, and 3) and put to the test
- A manual for coding the sequence positions was created and team members were trained to carry out the coding
- Another psychological manual for the third position was developed and put to the test
- First (trial) encodings with MAXQDA have already occurred
Furthermore, next to already published works, a number of articles and contributions addressing first results are currently in preparation and under review. The (planned) publications are listed under “Activities” and are partly available for download. Our PhD students also greatly focus upon their individual theses (dissertations):
