태권도 문화콘텐츠로서 융합 프로그램의 패러다임 인식과 실천의 내러티브 연구

Abstract

This study has begun for two purposes. Firstly, it was to know perceptions of taekwondo professionals regarding traditional and new taekwondo education program, and its problem, effect, strength, weakness, and how taekwondo institutions adopt these programs. Secondly, it was to suggest some practical implications to develop and vitalize the taekwondo as a cultural content. In order to proceed the study, nine taekwondo professionals from diverse areas were participated to research. Based on the content of the interview, three themes were extracted: perceptions of traditional taekwondo program and new taekwondo program, phenomena and interpretations of the new program, and practical implementation. Based on these themes, interviewees tackled both traditional and new programs’ structure, problems, strength and weakness, program’s quality improvement, suggestions for its development, and taekwondo institutions’ way to support the program. In detail of the perception of the traditional program, people usually mentioned about poomsae, sparring, self-defense. While, regarding the new program, they mentioned about joyfulness, excitement, play. In addition, regarding the structure of new program people mentioned highlighting, taekwondo+other sports, change due to generation. Its problem was revealed as the reversal of positions of customer and owner, verification of instructors’ ability, and harm of tradition. Therefore, taekwondo institutions should recognize convergence programs and must develop these programs with preserving traditional taekwondo.
