女子大生の体育実技への態度を規定する要因の検討

抄録

Through our three years' examination on the factors determining the attitudes towards practice of the required university physical education with the subjects of 1962 students, some main findings are summarized as follows: 1) Among the environmental (external) factors determining the attitudes towards practice of the required university physical education, the greatest was the conditions on which it was practiced, especially the amount of space in varied facilities available per capita was most influencial. 2) On students' personal and subjective conditions supposed to be determining their attitudes, the greatest were (a) their physical fitness level, and interest and willingness needed for active participation in sports, and (b) whether students have had built their positive attitudes towards physical education classes previous to their entrance in the universities. 3) Concerning the experiences in sports club activities, the length of experience in membership did not influence as a factor. 4) Those students, who were active in sports club activities, recognized the value of the required physical education, and found joy and pleasure in participation, but their evaluation on the classes was rather low. Generally speaking however, those students showed their positive attitudes in participation. The students who were the members of sports clubs with less and irregular participation tended to find less joy and pleasure in the classes. 5) Those students, who have had no experience in sports club activities, thought that they could improve their physical fitness by participating in the required physical education, and their evaluation on the classes was relatively higher. The required university physical education, therefore, seems to provide these students important place and opportunity for their regular practice in sports and physical exercises.
