Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine theses and dissertations of judo in domestic universities over the past five decades in an effort to shed light on a pervasive research trend in judo. The research questions posed in this study were to analyze the number of studies by degree, year, major, subject and research method, the number of theses by major and the number of dissertations by major. Data were gathered during a four-week period of time by entering a keyword "judo" and "ju-jithu", "martial arts" into the paper retrieval system of the National Assembly Library. Among the retrieved data, 704 studies that were associated with judo as a sport or martial art were selected. The selected studies were cataloged, and the bibliography data of the studies that were provided together were printed out and classified according to the lists of the studies. A group of experts was asked to classify the studies, and a frequency analysis was carried out. As for the number of studies by degree, 654 studies were master's theses, and 50 studies were dissertations. Concerning the number of studies by year, there was a rapid increase in the number of studies in and after 2000. Regarding the number of studies by major, a considerable number of studies were concerned about psychology, measurement/evaluation, physiology and sociology. As to the number of theses and dissertations by major, the major of the writers of the theses could be said to be relatively diverse, but many majored in psychology, measurement/evaluation and physiology. Specifically, the major of the dissertation writers was mostly psychology and physiology, which showed that the studies of judo lacked diversity. As for the number of studies by subject, the studies that examined judo players were quite larger in number than the studies that examined people in general. This phenomenon was in line with the current trend that judo was more widespread as one of sports for all rather than as a competitive sport. Concerning the number of studies by research method, 38 studies were literature research, and 178 studies were experimental research. 489 studies were research studies. Thus, research studies were prevailing. Given the findings of the study, it's discussed that judo is a field of study that requires a wide variety of methodological approach and better professionalism.
