Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop a program for training life skills that incorporates recreation with physical activity in order to form life skills more enjoyably and effectively. To achieve this goal, the following three studies were conducted.
Study 1 developed a measure of life skills for elementary and junior high school. Study 2 created a draft program (including worksheets) that incorporates recreation to effectively form life skills. First, a component analysis table was created, and then the proposed program was conducted as a preliminary survey for university students. Study 3 conducted a program for elementary school students and verified the effect. Each result has been presented at an academic conference, and the research results are being submitted as a paper.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで身体活動を伴ったレクリエーションの効果については，数は少ないながらも実証されているが，同時にワークシートを使用したプログラムやライフスキルの形成という視点からの研究は皆無であった．また学校現場でもレクリエーション活動を学級づくり等の目的で取り入れているが，具体的にどのような効果があるのかなどのエビデンスはないため，本研究によってある程度のエビデンスを明らかにすることができた．
さらに，本研究成果でライフスキルを効果的に形成するための具体的なプログラムとその過程を評価することが可能となり，類似概念の「生きる力」を育成する新たな教育ツールとして学校教育分野に一石を投じることができた．
