Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop a learning program for ``physical exercise'', focusing on fitness education that enables people to autonomously continue daily physical activities throughout their lives.
A survey study of 624 elementary school teachers in 51 schools revealed that the awareness of "teaching methods" and "making teaching materials" for "physical exercise" did not significantly improve even after accumulating teaching experience. In addition, this tendency was not seen in other areas. In addition, as a result of developing a learning program for "rhythmic gymnastics" and conducting practical research, we were able to obtain results that were highly evaluated by the learners.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

体つくり運動は，小学校から高等学校まで唯一全学年履修となっている領域であるとともに，直接体力向上をねらいとしている唯一の領域でもある。しかし，51校624人の小学校教員を対象とした本調査研究から，体つくり運動の「指導法」と「教材づくり」に関しての意識は，教職経験を積んでも有意に改善しないことが明らかとなった。また，この傾向は他の領域には見られないことも明らかとなった。そこで，本研究で一定の成果を検証することができたフィットネス教育の理念を基盤とした「リズム体操」は，体つくり運動領域の定型教材として，有用な示唆を与えることができるといえる。
