초등돌봄교실 내 체육프로그램 가이드라인 개발

초록

As of 2015, Korea has 240,000 elementary school students enrolled in after-school care. A closer look into the specifics of after-school activities reveals that although physical activities in the form of ‘playtime’ is included, they lack separate programs dedicated to physical education. Against this backdrop, the aim of this study is to establish a guideline for after-school activities to integrate physical education into their programs by presenting clear-cut standards and directions in areas such as provision of necessary facilities and instruction methods. Literature reviews, in-depth interviews, focus groups, and expert meetings were part of this research. More specifically, the focus group consultations comprised four elementary school teachers in charge of after-school activities, four elementary school teachers specializing in physical education, and four researchers specializing in elementary physical education. In-depth interviews were conducted with three practitioners from physical education organizations and the Ministry of Education. A final draft of this guideline was reached after two rounds of expert meetings held to discuss its applicability in schools, building on a preliminary rough draft. Such a guideline for introducing physical education programs as part of after-school activities will not only create jobs for sports professionals, but will minimize any confusion among education organization practitioners and school teachers, and offer elementary school students the opportunity to participate in physical education programs.
