혼성학급 여중생의 체육학습 무기력 원인 탐색

초록

To date, various governmental policies and academic supports have been given to promote physical activity of girls in Korea. But there still exist some girls who are not actively participating physical education classes. The reason is that there is lack of studies that inquire why the girls are not actively participating at P.E. classes and they continuously feel learned helplessness. The purpose of this study is to explore the various causes of girls’ learned helplessness throughout lived stories of girls who before experienced learned helplessness in middle schools. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, 8 girls at grade 3 in ‘A’ middle school are purposely selected based on the P.E. teachers’ references. Data using in-depth interviews and field observations are collected and analyzed using inductive categorical analysis. As the main result in this study, four causes of girls’ learned helplessness were emerged such as personal cause, peer student’ cause, P.E. teachers’ cause, and environmental cause. The personal cause is divided into two sub-themes such as shrinking feeling due to lowed fitness level and the continuity of internal conflicts. The peer students’ cause is made of three sub-themes such as passive group culture, girls’ criticism and jeer, and monopolistic action of peer boys. The P.E. teachers’ cause is consisted of three sub-themes such as discriminated words and actions, strict climate of P.E. class, inconsistent judgment. Finally, the environmental cause is consisted of three sub-themes such as lack of participation motivation due to temperature difference and old learning space at P.E. class.
