Resumo
Em 2012 o Comitê Paralímpico Internacional (IPC) lançou a Agitos Foundation (tratada nesse estudo como “Fundação Agitos – FA”), com o objetivo de cumprir os objetivos estratégicos de desenvolvimento e educação através do esporte. Após os Jogos Paralímpicos de Londres 2012, juntamente com o início de um novo ciclo rumo aos Jogos Paralímpicos Rio 2016, a FA iniciou seus trabalhos com a implantação de programas de desenvolvimento paradesportivos, incluindo a realização de workshops para capacitação profissional, como treinadores, atletas, classificadores e gestores. Esse estudo tem por objetivo analisar o impacto dos programas implementados pela FA em treinadores do esporte Paralímpico considerando o perfil profissional, habilidades, intenções e motivações através de componentes atitudinais e formação, direta e indiretamente relacionados ao esporte Paralímpico / paradesporto. Participaram desse estudo 28 treinadores que atenderam aos workshops da FA entre 2012 e 2016, representantes de 14 países da América do Sul, Central e do Norte (20 do sexo masculino e 8 do feminino), com média de idade de 37 anos, a maioria apresentando nível superior em educação física. Um questionário foi construído para avaliar dimensões de origem intrínseca: motivação, competências, formação; e dimensões de origem extrínseca: situação local sobre os esportes para pessoas com deficiência e questões culturais no que diz respeito aos direitos de pessoas com deficiência. Com relação às competências atitudinais e profissionais, o perfil apresentado por esses treinadores indicou que a participação nas oficinas da FA refletiu altas pontuações em conhecimento técnico e motivação para trabalhar com pessoas com deficiência. O contexto específico (por exemplo, conhecimento sobre o esporte Paralímpico / paradesporto) está vinculado às dimensões atitudinais de motivação e treinamento para a prática profissional, o que confirma uma relação positiva entre as três primeiras dimensões. As dimensões de origem intrínseca não foram relacionadas às de origem extrínseca (menores escores de concordância). Os menores escores nas dimensões socioculturais evidenciaram a situação atual da área do esporte para pessoas com deficiência, bem como a necessidade de um sistema de avaliação e monitoramento do regime de práticas, para que recursos e possibilidades de treinamento e aprimoramento profissional sejam efetivos.
In 2012 the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) launched the Agitos Foundation (herein referred as “Fundação Agitos – FA”), with the objective of fulfilling the strategic objectives of development and education through sport. After the Paralympic Games of London 2012, along with the beginning of a new cycle towards the Paralympic Games Rio 2016, FA began its work with the implementation of parasport development programs, including the organization of workshops for professional qualification, like coaches, athletes, classifiers and sport managers. This study aims to analyze the impact the programs implemented by FA have on Paralympic coaches considering their professional profiles, skills, intentions and motivations through attitudinal components and training background, directly and indirectly related to the Paralympic sport / parasport. Twenty-eight coaches that participated on the FA workshops between 2012 and 2016 representatives from 14 South, Central and North American countries (20 males and 8 females), average age 37 years, participated in this study, majority with degree in physical education. A questionnaire was constructed to assess dimensions of intrinsic origin: motivation, competences, training background; and dimensions of extrinsic origin: situation of local disability sports and cultural issues towards disability rights. Regarding the attitudinal and professional competences, the profile presented by these coaches indicated that participation in the FA workshops reflected high scores on technical knowledge and motivation to work with people with disabilities. The specific context (e.g. knowledge about the Paralympic sport / parasport) is linked to the attitudinal dimensions of motivation and training for professional practice, which confirms a positive relationship between the first three dimensions. The dimensions of intrinsic origin were unrelated to those of extrinsic origin (lowest scores of agreement). The lowest scores in the sociocultural dimensions highlighted the current status of the area of sport for the disabled, as well as the need for an evaluation system and a monitoring of practices regime, so that resources and possibilities for training and professional improvement can be effective.
