The teaching program for junior high school students studying judo for the first time in physical education

Abstract

This study created a 10-hours judo teaching program to conform with the nationwide implemented time for budo lessons in junior high school. In the teaching program, the instruction of “nage-waza” focused on “hiza-guruma”, “ō-goshi” and “tai-otoshi”, and from student’s “formative class value” and “skill value”, educational guidance tasks were examined. The subjects of the study were 40 second-grade junior high school students who were learning judo for the first time. The results of this study show the proficiency level of “tai-otoshi” was lower for boys when compared to “ō-goshi”, and lower for girls when compared to “hiza-guruma” and “ō-goshi”. This suggests that junior high school students who are taking a judo class for the first time, should be taught “tai-otoshi”.
