This study is an integrated approach to elementary physical education to realize education for the whole person, and By applying a narrative-based Hanaro Teaching to elementary physical education, this study explores potential for realization of education for the whole of person through harmonious development of physical strength, virtue, and intellect; it seeks to provide practical materials for elementary physical education.
For this study In order to reach these research goals, the study selected as research subjects the 5th grade elementary school students in Jeonin Elementary School located in Cheonan city, Chungcheongnam-do, from March 2005 to February 2008, and applied a narrative-based Hanaro Teaching model, which is an integrated approach. The study used single case study design and ethnographic method. For collection methods of major data, the study used class observation, in-depth interview, outputs of student activities, and professional meetings. For collected data, the study analyzed them through case record analysis and inductive categorical analysis, and analyzed data undergone triangulation, discussions among colleagues, and examination by constituents to secure credibility of data.
The research findings and conclusions of the study are as follows. First, elementary physical education that is currently undergoing, when examined in a viewpoint that aims toward education for the whole person, has many problems in educational model aspect and in field practice aspect. Second, from March 2005 to February 2008, the study implemented Hanaro Teaching to grade 5 students in Jeonin Elementary School. To realize education for the whole person, students' experience activities were such that they were to experience direct experience activity and indirect experience activity simultaneously. Together with physical activity, narrative activities such as speaking, listening, reading, writing, looking, drawing, making, and singing were implemented, and management of class was composed of 'Teo'(site) activity and 'Pae'(group) activity. Third, looking at effects of the narrative-based Hanaro Teaching, In the process of creative narrative activities together with physical activities, the "physical creativity" was developed by undergoing process of 'bumping into - finding problems - thinking - imagining - jumping over'. Furthermore, in the process of various narrative activities together with physical activities, the "physical literacy" was improved by undergoing process of 'going to see - learning - understanding - criticizing - evaluating'. Consequently, in the process of doing narrative activities together with 'site activity' and 'group activity', the "peer affinity" was fostered by undergoing process of 'ignoring - bumping into - think over - being one'. Fourth, looking at effects of a narrative-based Hanaro Teaching's education for the whole person as integrated elementary physical education for realization of education for the whole person, the "physical creativity" was improved through reciprocal actions of 'physical creativity', 'cognitive creativity' and 'creative attitude'. The "physical literacy" was improved through reciprocal actions of 'physical activity', 'narrative activity' and 'proper judgment'. The "peer affinity" was fostered through reciprocal actions of 'friendly actions', 'friendly emotions' and 'friendly cognition'. Also, the study found that education for the whole person is realized by harmonious development of physical strength, virtue, and intellect through reciprocal actions of "physical creativity", "physical literacy", and "peer affinity". Finally, this can be called as education for the whole person's effect of Hanaro Teaching that nurtures "really good person" through physical education.
The "physical creativity", "physical literacy", and "peer affinity", which are found to be effects of Hanaro Teaching, can't all be obtained through education only focused on the psychomotor domain. In order to implement education for the whole person where physical strength, virtue, and intellect are harmonized, it must be that activities for psychomotor, cognitive and definitive domains must be allowed to have reciprocal actions. Consequently, one should feel the romanticism of physical education with heart and body by experiencing physical education through various methods(narrative) together with bodily activities. Hence, a narrative-based Hanaro Teaching plays an important role in planting romanticism about physical education to students. Consequently, physical education that enables one to feel such romanticism must be a beginning stage and must be implemented more aggressively starting from elementary physical education that specializes on foundational aspect, consolidation aspect, and wholeness.
