Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to clarify the competencies possessed by rich sports life practitioners, and then to examine their practical usefulness from the perspective of evidence-based education when developing them in elementary school physical education through classroom research. First, we clarified how evidence related to physical education in Japan is handled and its issues, and organized evidence studies in other countries. In addition, a new theory of teaching that enables students to develop the competencies that rich sports life practitioners possess was derived from the game theory. Furthermore, we were able to empirically demonstrate the competencies that can be developed in physical education classes based on game theory. In conclusion, the possibility of new physical education classes based on game theory was examined from both theoretical and empirical perspectives.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

1980年代から体育は、生涯スポーツを理念として営まれてきた。その際に、プレイ論にもとづき授業が展開されてきたが、成人スポーツ実施率はウォーキングを除けば数パーセントに留まっている。このような現状に対し、豊かなスポーツライフの実践者が有しているコンピテンシーをインタビュー調査等から明らかにした。その結果、エリアサービス、プログラムサービス、クラブサービス、イベントサービスに関わって教師や学校が準備してきたものを獲得する必要性が示された。体育政策に関わったエビデンスの課題とこれらのコンピテンシーを身につけるためのゲーム論に基づいた新たな授業論を導き出すことができた点が本研究の学術的意義である。
