Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focused on the uniqueness of physical education, and quantitatively and qualitatively grasped the current state of ICT utilization in physical education (PE) classes among PE teachers and university students in pre-service education. As a result, not only did we identify methodological solutions for superficial issues, but we also uncovered underlying deep-seated challenges theoretically, which led to the discovery of practical challenges in how to effectively implement PE teacher training.
In addition, the significances of ICT utilization were clarified and the directions for its promotion were provided through the development of OLPE under the COVID-19 pandemic, in terms of its potential to facilitate teachers' autonomous learning through problem-solving-oriented and collaborative action research.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果は、これまでに指摘されてきた体育科及び保健体育科における教員養成過程や現職教員研修をめぐる問題の所在の1つとして提示できるとともに、それらをどのように克服していくのか、つまり体育教師教育をいかに進めていくのかという研究視座から大きな意義があると考える。また、体育教師の成長は子供たちの体育への学習意欲や興味・関心を高め、運動習慣の形成や継続、或いは豊かなスポーツライフの実現といった体育の教科目標の達成に繋がりうるものであり、子供たちの生涯にわたる健康・体力の保持・増進への寄与や、明るく豊かで活力ある国民の育成という教育的貢献の観点からも、社会的に望ましいものであると考えられる。
