The purpose of this study was to summarize the changes in research and practice, with a focus on postwar rugby classes, as well as the contents of the Courses of Study, and to identify issues for the future.
As a result of the analysis, the following points became clear.
1) Since the 1978 Courses of Study, the study of rugby has expanded to include girls. However, there was no research or practice targeting female students.
2) In the Courses of Study, “learning about playing rugby” has been added in the order of skills, strategy, and spatial penetration. In terms of research and practice, there have been fewer articles dealing with strategy and spatial penetration than those dealing with skills.
3) In the Courses of Study, “learning how to learn rugby” has been described in the following order: rules and regulations of the game, safety measures, planning and execution of practice and games, and learning for a lifelong sport. In terms of research and practice, there were some articles on the rules and regulations of the game and safety measures, but no research or practice on the planning and execution of practices and learning for a lifelong sport.
4) In the Courses of Study, “attitude learning” has been added in the order of contributing to the team, respecting rules and others, taking initiative, and protecting one's own and others' health and safety. In research and practice, there were articles on contributing to the team, respecting rules and others, and protecting one's own and others' health and safety, but none on independent initiative.
