태권도장의 교육가치 편향성과경쟁력 개선방안

Abstract

This study is aimed to offer the plans to improve competitiveness of Taekwon-Dojang to overcome 'the crisis of Taekowndo', by focusing on the propensity of educational value ofTaekwon-Dojang on the basis of the fundamental proposition, 'The survival of Taekwon-Dojang is directly connected to the Taekwondo's survival', and through coming up with the solution to this matter. First, the most fundamental problem of the Taekwon-Dojang these days is the biased educational subject. Almost 90% of the entire trainees in overall Taekwon-Dojang are elementary students. This imbalanced training culture is one of the most serious obstacles in revitalizing Taekwondo through popularization. Therefore, the propensity of the trainers biased toward juveniles should be overcome, and the facilities should be improved first to diversify the range of trainees and to secure more teenagers and adults. Second, along with the expansion of the age bracket of trainees, Taekwondo education programs should also be reorganized to various, instructive contents geared toward every age bracket. In other words, by transforming to the training system of martial art education from child-centered playing educational system, specialized educational program should be established to expand the gender and age bracket not to mention of maintaining existing trainees. With this change in educational programs, the age bracket of Taekwondo trainees would be expanded to teenagers and adults not to speak of young children as they participate in proper educational programs, and it will serve as the momentum to accomplish the goal of Taekwondo world.
