An Inquiry into Studies of Kentaro Sasaki's Physical Education Practices

A Preliminary Consideration for a “Reinterpretation”

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the possibilities and significances of a reinterpretation of Kentaro Sasaki's physical education practices.
Sasaki's physical education practices, which has been developed soon after post-war, has been attempted to create its own meaning so far through many Studies. For example, “physical education protecting our lives”, “Conquest of performance principle”, “Engineer of body and soul”, “Class to face the body crisis”, “physical education emphasizing the recognition” and so on. But, I wonder whether these interpretations does fully play significant role in Sasaki's physical education?
This research classify the studies of Sasaki into “historical transition”, “Sasaki-Sebata dispute” and “contemporary significance”, and had been looked over the possibilities and significances on reinterpreting Sasaki's practical record as individual, specific and reflective practice by overlooking frameworks of “technical practice-reflective practice”.
