In order to identify effective strategies for enhancing a high-quality physical education system, it is imperative to undertake research that examines the nuances of educational culture, specifically focusing on the psychological experiences of early adolescents within physical education classes. This study aims to compare self-determination, peer-relationships, and feelings of alienation in physical education among adolescents from Korea and China, both situated in East Asia, with respect to their nationality and gender.
One hundred and twenty two early adolescent males ( = 14.34, SD = 0.65) and 78 females ( = 14.34, SD = 0.64) from South Korea and 125 early adolescent males ( = 14.13, SD = 0.58) and 70 females ( = 14.13, SD = 0.59) from China participated in this study, with a mean age of 14.24 0.62. The Academic Self-Regulatory Scale (SRQ-A), Peer-relationship Questionnaire, and a Scale for Measuring Student Alienation in Physical Education were utilized for data analysis. For statistic comparisons, a -test was used.
Self-determination of male and female students in China was significantly higher than that of male and female students in Korea, respectively. Peer-relationship of male students in Korea was significantly higher than that of male students in China. Physical education alienation of the female students in Korea was significantly higher than that of male students in Korea.
Given that the influence of self-determination, peer relationships, and physical education alienation varies by nationality and gender, it is crucial to seek and implement strategies to develop an effective physical education system. By doing so, physical education alienation can be minimized and prevented, ultimately preserving the health and well-being of adolescents. This approach is vital for fostering a supportive and inclusive environment that promotes lifelong fitness and health.
为了确定提升高质量体育教育体系的有效策略,开展研究以审视教育文化的细微差别至关重要,尤其要关注青少年早期在体育课中的心理体验。本研究旨在比较来自东亚的韩国和中国青少年在体育课中的自主决定权、同伴关系及疏离感,涉及国籍和性别因素。
来自韩国的122名青少年早期男性(平均年龄=14.34,标准差=0.65)和78名女性(平均年龄=14.34,标准差=0.64)以及来自中国的125名青少年早期男性(平均年龄=14.13,标准差=0.58)和70名女性(平均年龄=14.13,标准差=0.59)参与了本研究,平均年龄为14.24±0.62。数据分析采用学业自我调节量表(SRQ-A)、同伴关系问卷以及体育课学生疏离感测量量表。统计比较采用t检验。
中国男女学生的自主决定权分别显著高于韩国男女学生。韩国男学生的同伴关系显著高于中国男学生。韩国女学生的体育课疏离感显著高于韩国男学生。
鉴于自主决定权、同伴关系和体育课疏离感的影响因国籍和性别而异,寻求并实施发展有效体育教育体系的策略至关重要。这样做可以将体育课疏离感降至最低并加以预防,最终维护青少年的健康和幸福。这种方法对于营造促进终身健康和健身的支持性及包容性环境至关重要。
