체육교육의 역사적, 철학적 탐구: 현황과 과제 = Historical and Philosophical Approaches to Sport Pedagogy: A literature Review

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sport pedagogy, as the field of study on physical education teaching and curriculum, has developed at astonishing speed. Since its inception in the early 1970s, the field of research on teaching, teacher education and curriculum has accumulated a great amount of research findings. Based on this research-based body of knowledge, sport pedagogy has contributed to the improvement of teaching and teacher education in physical education. However, it has been criticized by scholars for its empirical research-oriented inquiry, rather than concept analysis and theory development. It has been argued by many that without conceptual clarity and explanatory theories, interpretation and implication of research results cannot be done in a correct way. Particularly, historical and philosophical analysis on the major concepts and their relations in physical education has not quite interested by sport pedagogy researchers. Thus, it seems to me, the field is moving on without any directional guide. But philosophical inquiry and historical analysis are both necessary in order for a field to establish a sound conceptual and historical foundation and stand firm by itself. This study purports to review those historical and philosophical studies on physical education for the last two decades, so as that sport pedagogy researchers can recognize the urgent need to base their empirical research on the understanding of concepts and theories from the philosophy and history of education perspectives. It is hoped that by reviewing them, a genuine academic interest can be developed in sport pedagogy researchers.
