초록

The purpose of this study is to recognize the reason why at-risk youths actually do physical activity through exploration of physical activity meaning. To accomplish the purpose of this study, open-questionnaires were sent to 404 at-risk youths suspended by court, prosecution and school and transferred to the alternative education center in Seoul and Gyeonggi, Inchon province. For better quality of the analysis result, we could get deeper material through in-depth interviews on 12 at-risk students. As a result, we got these conclusion. First, the tendency for at-risk youths was uncontrolled when they get stressed or angry. There were some students who solve the problem by exercise but uncontrolled and aggressive students didn't know how to solve the problem or resolved it improperly. Second, the most basic reason why at-risk youths do physical activity was that their own personality was very active and sought the kinetic movement. Another reason was for their own health, entering university, spare time, and etc. The positive changes of at-risk youths were good health, mental health, and improvement of their friendship after the physical activity. On the other hand, an increase in aggression was negative change. Third, most of the at-risk youths were bored with just straying in the classroom and they wanted to know new things through the physical program like learning new exercise with active and interesting friends. Fourth, as a result of the interview with teachers, they were positive with the physical activity and wanted to arouse at-risk students' cooperative spirit and let them feel unity. More over, teachers wanted at-risk youths to be mentally stabilized through meditation. The teachers also emphasized that the time for physical activity should be increased and required that the policy is nationally made to increase the physical equipment and time.
