16-20歳を対象としたアダプテッド・スポーツの経験，興味・関心，知識に関する調査研究

抄録

This study aimed to clarify the degree of experience, interest, and knowledge regarding adapted sports among students and to present material for designing high-school physical education classes. As for the survey, we used Microsoft’s questionnaire function (forms). The study included 572 students from Grades 1–5 (aged 16–20 years) enrolled in the National Institute of Technology College. A total of 568 students responded to the questionnaire (response rate: 99.3%). The study found that 12% of all students had experience in adapted sports. The number of experienced players was significantly higher for the first-grade students and significantly lower for the fifth graders. No significant difference was found between grades regarding degree of interest for adapted sport. The highest interest in adapted sports was found among the first graders and the lowest was found among the fifth graders. One of the factors for these differences was thought to be the revision of the 2017 Commentary on the Courses of Study for Junior High School (Health and Physical Education), which indicated that students should “experience sports for the disabled.” Forty-eight percent correctly answered the question “For which population was boccia designed?” As of 2020, interest in adapted sports has been increasing. However, the percentage of experienced students varied by grade. There was a problem with the retention of knowledge about adapted sports. The results can be beneficial in designing physical education classes for high-school students.
