Today, we have side effects such as individual-oriented way of thinking, materialism, result-over-process and excessive competition. These side effects weakened morality of members of society and caused frequent social problems such as deviation and crime, and influenced on children and youth.
This study applies Hellison's TPSR(Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility) model which can improve weakened morality of the youth so as to investigate the effect on elementary student's responsibility perception and intrinsic motivation. We set up study matter whether there is meaningful difference in responsibility perception and intrinsic motivation between experiment group to which TPSR model is applied during physical education and control group who takes general physical education and we set up hypotheses.
Hypothesis Ⅰ. Physical education to which TPSR model is applied will bring about meaningful difference in elementary students' responsibility perception.
Hypothesis Ⅱ. Physical education to which TPSR model is applied will bring about meaningful difference in elementary student's intrinsic motivation.
To verify those hypotheses, we performed physical education applied with TPSR model for 7 weeks (20 hours) on the target of 60 students of S Elementary school located in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, and we have the following study results.
Firstly, physical education applied with TPSR model affected students' responsibility perceptions(p<.01). The sub elements of responsibility perception are respect, effort, self-direction and caring for the others, and the physical education applied with TPSR model showed the following results. There was meaningful difference within experiment group before and after performing physical education applied with the TPSR model of respect (p<.01). There was meaningful difference within experiment group before and after performing physical education applied with the TPSR model of effort (p<.01). There was meaningful difference within experiment group before and after performing physical education applied with the TPSR model of self-direction(p<.01). There was meaningful difference within experiment group before and after performing physical education applied with the TPSR model of caring for the others (p<.05).
Secondly, physical education applied with TPSR model affected students' intrinsic motivation(p<.01). The sub elements of intrinsic motivation are perceived competency, interest-joy, effort-importance and tension-pressure, and the physical education applied with TPSR model showed the following results. There was no meaningful difference in both groups from within-group comparison before and after performing physical education applied with TPSR model of perceived competency. There was meaningful difference within experiment group before and after performing physical education applied with the TPSR model of interest-joy(p<.01). There was meaningful difference within experiment group before and after performing physical education applied with TPSR model of effort-importance(p<.01). There was no meaningful difference in both groups from within-group comparison before and after performing physical education applied with TPSR model of tension-pressure.
Consequently, this study shows that physical education applied with TPSR model has positive influence on elementary school students' responsibility perception and intrinsic motivation.
Collecting the above results, the physical education applied TPSR model during regular class hours has positive influence on students' responsibility perception and intrinsic motivation. We think that it can develop learners' morality by increasing responsibility; considering the effect of TPSR model for spontaneous participation in learning, if TPSR model is appropriately used in accordance with students' level and situation, it can increase students' satisfaction and interest in physical education as well as heightening the status of physical education differentiated with other subjects of studies.
