This study analyzes the situation and use of the physical facilities and is aimed at presenting the basic data, which can be contributed to improve the quality of physical education.
The subject of investigation is 72 chief P.E.(Physical Education) teachers and 216 P.E. teachers who work in 72 middle schools in Busan. The conclusion of this thesis follows:
1. Most middle schools are short of the P.E. equipment according to the standard, which is provided for athletic facilities specified in the law. The ratios of tennis courts are 48.6%, dancing rooms 28.9%.
To remedy these inadequate situations, the ministry of education must support all of the middle schools.
2. The condition of the playground is also not so good. The security ratio of the playground is 153.8%. The athlete field area for each student is 6.7㎡. The schools, which have 100meter straight line, are 34.7% and the ratio of 200meter tracks 54.2%. Most schools have a comparative small athlete field. So we need to devise a scheme to improve this situation.
3. Most teachers use ball games more frequently than other sports.
The ball game ratio of the male P.E. teachers are 44%, otherwise the female teachers 20.4%. P.E. class is focused to the ball game. 45.8% P.E. teachers don't use the P.E. equipment because of a concern for students' safety.
4. 50% P.E. teachers have difficulty in athlete's skill extension owing to the shortage of the facilities and equipments. Accordingly the Education Ministry and manta kinds of gymnastics unions must try to extend the P.E. facilities.
5. Most middle schools keep physical equipment in a warehouse instead of P.E. preparation room(satisfaction ratio: 58.3%). P.E. teaching aids custody space is 19%. The physical facilities situation is very bad. Therefore we have to make efforts to consider a counter plan.
6. Most schools should be opened playground to public's everyday because the school is the important role of community society(93.1%). In contrast some schools open their playgrounds and lend physical equipment to neighbors only every weekend.
