小学校体育におけるタグ・ラグビーに関する一考察

ポートボールとの個人技術をめぐる「やさしさ」の比較を中心に

抄録

The purpose of this study is to examine whether Tag Rugby, which is one of the “Territorial Games”, is easier compared to Port Ball with a view point of personal skills. To achieve this, a comparative study of the three actions as personal skills was made in Tag Rugby and Port Ball. These actions are “The action to score” and “The action to move with the ball”, factors that make Tag Rugby easy, and “The action to pass the ball” a factor that makes Tag Rugby difficult. Therefore, the awareness of pupils and the phenomenon of play according to each action have been compared. The following points became clear from the investigation.
1) “The action to score” in Tag Rugby is easier than that of Port Ball for the pupils.
2) “The action to pass the ball” in Tag Rugby is easier than that of Port Ball for the pupils.
3) It can be said that “The action to move with the ball” in Tag Rugby is easier than Port Ball for the pupils from the investigation of the pupils' awareness. However, the examination is insufficient because the investigation of the phenomenon was not executed.
Consequently, in Tag Rugby not only the factors which were said to be easy, but also the difficult factor, came out easier compared to the factors of Port Ball. There is a possibility that there would be a gap between the awareness of pupils and the phenomenon of play in the ball games. In order to choose meaningful ball games for the pupils in the school PE curriculum, it seems that the teachers will be required to make note of the pupils' views, through examining the phenomenon, and not only the awareness of pupils towards specific kinds of ball games.
