Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the operating state and revitalization plans of special school Saturday P.E. programs in Gyeonggi Province in the five-day school week. The documents of the operating status of Saturday P.E. programs and their proposals in 28 special schools located in Gyeonggi Province were consulted in this study. The collected data were analyzed by making a frequency analysis and computing percentage to find out the state of the programs. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the rate of students who participated in the special school Saturday P.E. programs in Gyeonggi Province was not high, but the schools provided appropriate programs in collaboration with their local communities, and there was nothing wrong with the qualifications of instructors and with the timetables. Second, as for supportable P.E. programs, it's required to offer leisure and sport activities, to foster sport teams and sport clubs of diverse sporting events, and to provide a wide variety of sport programs. Seeking inclusive support from local communities and joining forces with them will make it possible to do all these things. And there are several ways to revitalize Saturday P.E. programs: First, the government should offer assistance for those programs. A separate government agency should be set up to be exclusively in charge of the programs, and more personnels including working-level staff members should be provided. Second, as for administrative backing from local educational authorities and assistance from local communities, it's needed to bolster each school's P.R. activities, to build a sport league of special schools, to invite the public to join in Saturday P.E. program contests, and to enter into a program agreement with local welfare centers for the disabled. Besides, colleges that offer special P.E. courses should provide student instructors. Third, concerning the improvement of the awareness of special schools, school administrators should have a strong will to offer quality programs, and education-related organizations should team up with one another. In addition, parents should be encouraged to let their children participate in Saturday P.E. programs. In conclusion, educators should determine the right directions for special school Saturday P.E. programs in Gyeonggi Province in consideration of the flow of the times to revitalize those programs in the five-day school week, and they should make concerted efforts to step up the development of those programs to boost the physical activities of students who are in need of special education.
