본연구는체육이라는학문분야가외국인유학생에게어떤매력요소가있고실제생활에기여 하는지를규명하는데목적이있다. 이러한연구목적을달성하기위해경기도와충청남도에소재한 4년제대학학위과정(학사, 석사)에재학중인, 한국입국4년차, 8년차된베트남, 우즈베키스탄 국적의체육전공유학생을연구대상자를선정하였다. 이들을대상으로2024년3월부터2025년 8월까지참여관찰과심층면담방법을통해자료를수집하였다. 수집된자료는내러티브연구 방법을통해분석하였으며그결과는다음과같다. 첫째, 학과적응초기낮은형식의언어와입학 장벽과높은비형식적장벽이공존하는문화적응의‘이중성’이나타났다. 둘째, 체육전공이라는 특수성이반영되어학과활동과생계병행이충돌해초기적응의장애요소로작용하였다. 셋째, 교과외학과생활이정서적교류와심리적지지를만들고학과문화를체화시켜학과적응의회복 과정으로전환된다. 넷째, 전공의교실밖활동과이미지는한국에서의사회적확장과문화적응을 촉진하는기재로작용한다. 다섯째, 긍정적인전공경험은한국에서의정주, 진로설계에서핵심 판단기준이되고유학을준비하는유학생에게전수되게된다.
Abstract
This study applies a narrative inquiry to identify what makes physical education (PE) academically attractive to international students and how the major contributes to their everyday lives in Korea. Participants were PE majors from Vietnam and Uzbekistan enrolled in bachelor’s and master’s programs at four-year universities in Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheongnam-do; they had resided in Korea for approximately 4 and 8 years, respectively. Data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews from March 2024 to August 2025, and analyzed using narrative methods. Findings are as follows. First, an adaptive “duality” emerged: low formal thresholds at entry (language and admissions) coexisted with high informal cultural barriers after matriculation, driven by face-to-face, practice-heavy learning and implicit norms. Second, the work–study conflict—stemming from PE’s activity intensity and students’ need to engage in part-time work—functioned as an early obstacle to academic adjustment. Third, co-curricular engagement (team practices, clubs, field/seasonal intensives) shifted from burden to resource, fostering emotional exchange, psychological support, and the embodiment of departmental culture, thereby enabling recovery and adaptation. Fourth, PE’s extraclass identity and visibility facilitated social network expansion and cultural adaptation in Korean society. Fifth, positive major experiences became a core criterion in decisions about longer-term stay and career design in Korea and were intentionally shared with prospective international students as practical guidance.
