アイマークレコーダーによる剣道審判の視線研究:しかけていく技の判定をとおして

抄録

In this research, we take note of kendo referee's viewpoints and opinions. The purpose is to clarify these ideas in regard to the subjects with different skills when judging a match close to the real one, and to obtain suggestions on how to improve the skill of the referee. Using the Eye-mark Recorder, we did the test to judge the match projected on a big screen. Picking up the “Shikaketeiku-waza” from the test, we tried to understand how they apply their viewpoints. Comparing the subjects with different skills and viewpoints towards the process of “datotsu”, we obtained the following.
(1) Those with higher skills applied their viewpoints and opinions on the center zone between the players at any time, and don't change zone at all during the process of moving.
(2) Those with higher skills put their viewpoints into space, and won't get interrupted much by other points.
(3) Those with high skills have little movement of viewpoints.
As a result, we found that kendo referees who have higher skills put their viewpoints and opinions on the center zone between players, and also into space. Therefore through this research we couldn't get an exact answer about where to look for judgment. However we find it important not to become fixed on a single point, but to see the whole picture, as if viewing a distant mountain, which we refer to as “Enzan-no-metsuke” in Kendo.
