I den här artikeln presenterar Lotte Skrubbeltrang och kollegor två didaktiska verktyg som de har utvecklat i samband med forsknings- och utvecklingsprojektet ”Lykkeleg”, och som kan stödja tränare i att skapa lekfulla idrottsaktiviteter. Med inspiration från Dion Sommer har de utvecklat en lekpendel inom idrott som stödjer tränare och lärare i att överväga vilka lekformer som kan och bör introduceras, samt vilken roll tränaren och läraren kan spela. Inspirerade av Roger Caillois fyra lekegenskaper har de också utformat ett didaktiskt verktyg, lekmixern, för att öka och minska fokus på lek i träningen.

In this article, Lotte Skrubbeltrang and colleagues present two didactic tools that they have developed in connection with the research and development project “Lykkeleg”, and that can support coaches in creating playful sports activities. Inspired by Dion Sommer, they have developed a play pendulum in sports that supports coaches and teachers in considering which forms of play can and should be introduced, as well as what role the coach and teacher can play. Inspired by Roger Caillois’s four play characteristics, they have also designed a didactic tool, the play mixer, to increase and decrease the focus on play in training.

Sport and physical activity are embedded in our education systems and in wider society. Education in Sport and Physical Activity: Future Directions and Global Perspectives, edited by Karen Petry & Johan de Jong (Routledge) takes the broadest possible look at this topic. In his clever review, Joacim Andersson finds that when scholars reach a point where their paths intersect, they sit down and listen to one another, and that stories that don’t really connect just need someone (or occasionally 47 scholars) to open a gallery for them.

I idrottskulturen framträder tränaren i ett särskilt ljus. Med sin nya bok Tränaretik (SISU Idrottsböcker) vill Kutte Jönsson uppmuntra till etisk reflektion, såväl över tränarskapets inneboende natur som över konkreta fall, för aktiva tränare, tränare under utbildning och alla andra som på olika sätt har med idrottsträning att göra. Vår recensent Christian Thue Bjørndal välkomnar trots önskemål om viss fördjupning bokens moralfilosofiska och etiska perspektiv på tränarrollen och tränarens verksamhet.

Described by the publisher as an array of research project abstracts, Exploring Research in Sports Coaching and Pedagogy: Context and Contingency (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, edited by Charles L. T. Corsby & Christian N. Edwards), comprises five parts and 19 chapters over a mere 187 pages.
