Abstract
The purpose of this study is to theoretically classify interaction in physical education class while sharing the meaning and value of exercise and sports. Therefore, we used as an analytical framework consensus formation theory, which is based on the social-constructivism epistemology that the meaning and value of exercise and sports are generated and configured from interaction. Results showed that interactions in “consensus building” could be classified theoretically into “consensus” related to “mono (things, objects)” and “accommodation” related to “koto (events, human interpretation of objects and experiences).” These results suggest the possibility of a gap between “accommodation” in groups when “consensus” is aimed at excessively. To address this issue, we have presented an interaction method that consciously distinguishes two types of“ consensus formation” that have different natures.
