The purpose of this study was to survey the school adaptation and sociality of students through the participation in programs of physical education in the middle school. It aims to provide basic evidence to activate the physical education programs for teenagers in school.
This survey was conducted in two middle schools for 1st graders in Seoul. In total 400 samples are collected and among them, 391 samples are actually measured to the investigation. In addition, the purposive sampling method was applied to the statistical analysis.
Statistic program, SPSS 17.0 was used to analyze and computerize the compiles of questionnaire. To be more specific, Frequence Analysis, Frequence Analysis, independent t-test and One-way ANOVA, post-hoc, Correlation Analysis were utilized to have meaningful result of the research. The findings are as follows :
The effects of participation of physical programs on school adaptation and sociality are divided into four phases, participation of activities, gender of participants, duration of participation, and the types of participation.
First, the groups to participate in the physical programs showed higher adaptation(p<.001) and sociality(p<.01) level than those who do not participate and this is a significant difference in terms of statistic perspective.
Second, girls' group indicated slightly higher than boys's group concerning overall school adaptation and sociality status. However it did not mean significant in statistic point of view.
Third, it is revealed that how long students participate in the activities decides how well the students adapt themselves to school. The group who attend to the physical programs in longer duration shows higher level of adaptation to school(p<.001) and sociality(p<.001), which was a significant difference in static perspectives.
Forth, the group who joins physical program in both extra or intra of school shows significant higher level of adaptation to school(p<.01) and sociality(p<.01) than those who participate in only one of them.
Fifth, both students' adaptation to school and sociality level indicate the meaningful positive correlation with the physical education programs in school from the correlation analysis in this research(p<.01).
