This study was intended to provide fundamental data to elementary school teachers by researching the actual condition of managing the education of rhythmic sports gymnastics in the individual schools and analyzing it in various perspectives through the re

Purpose: This study was to create and practically apply psychological skills training program(PSTP) for rhythmic gymnasts. Methods: Four rhythmic gymnasts aged ten to fifteen who are members of Korea Gymnastics Association and Office of Education in ‘G’ city were selected as research participants in 2014. They participated in PSTP for six months. Program effectiveness was examined through the questionnaire of CSAI-2, psychological skills, and self-management, list of competition result, and psychological counseling. The selected program was applied to each rhythmic gymnasts through supplementation sequence after practical skill training that reflected personal psychological skills level and characteristics. Results: Based on the data collected, nine specific psychological skills methods consisted of goal setting, breathing and relaxation, positive imagery, self-management, cognitive restructuring, self-confidence, performance routine, psychological counselling, and integrated performance routine were applied to the research participations. As they participated in PSTP, the following positive psychological effects were found to the research participant. First, participants’ competitive state anxiety was reduced. Second, participants’ psychological skills was improved. Third, participants’ self-management was enhanced. Fourth, participants’ performance was improved. Conclusion: PSTP was evaluated as an effective training program that helps rhythmic gymnasts’ psychological steadiness. Based on the result of the study, it is expected that more rhythmic gymnasts are trained using PSTP to improve their mental strongness, so that they perform their best athletic skills and talents in their competition.

Purpose: This study has two purposes; (a) to advance the understanding of rhythmic gymnastics’ attractiveness factors perceived by female elementary school students and their mothers, and (b) to discuss similarities and differences between the attractiveness factors. In this study, a concept-mapping method was used for a research methodology. A concept-mapping method is useful in that it can deal with both quantitative and qualitative research issues and compensate limitations. A concept-mapping method enables researchers to directly explore the frames of participants’ experiences and/or ideas, rather than to explore those frames based on researchers’ hypotheses or direction of the study. Results: This study collected data (original N=10/10) from female rhythmic gymnastics students and their mothers. All students participated in the study were children at the age between 8 and 11, who have been learning rhythmic gymnastics more than 12 months in Seoul, South Korea. This study collected participants’ statements using an open-ended survey. Among total of N statements, 51 of the children’s statements and 49 of the mothers’ statements were confirmed through a clarification process. Multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis were conducted to investigate the purposes of the study. A concept map of rhythmic gymnastics’ attractiveness was derived as a result. Test results showed that children and mother groups presented 5 and 3 clusters, respectively, on a two-dimensional axis diagram. Conclusion: This study revealed the attractiveness factors of rhythmic gymnastics perceived by female students and their mothers. The tested results have implications for both academia and instructional method. The results would be a basic reference source for developing measurement scale for testing rhythmic gymnastics students’ pleasure and interest levels. The results of this study also could be applied to designing effective teaching and learning strategies of rhythmic gymnastics, and developing various programs.

본 연구는 보강적 피드백의 제시시기와 제시방법에 따른 리듬체조 후프 동작의 학습효과를 알아보는데 연구의 목적을 두고 있다. 본 연구의 피험자들은 20대 남, 여 각 30명씩 총 60명을 대상으로 하였고, 실험과제는 리듬체조 기술 중에서 후프과제를 선정하였고, 후프 기술 가운데 연구의도에 적합하게 구성하여 타당도를 검증한 5가지의 연속동작 과제이다. 연구의 목적 삼 리듬체조의 경험이 없는 20대 남, 여를 대상으로 하며 6개의 실험집단 즉 동시적 시각 피드백, 동시적 언어 피드백, 동시적 혼합 피드백, 종말적 시각 피드백, 종말적 언어 피드백, 종말적 혼합 피드백 조건에 남, 여 같은 수의 비율로 우선배정 하였다. 동시적 시각 피드백 조건은 시행 중에 숙련모델의 동작 수행 장면을 정면에 설치된 TV모니터를 통하여 보면서 동작을 수행하는 조건이었으며, 동시적 언어 피드백 조건은 후프동작에 관한 언어적 정보를 연속적으로 들으면서 동작을 수행하는 조건이었다. 동시적 혼합 피드백 조건은 시행 중에 숙련모델의 동작 수행 장면과 언어적 정보를 동시에 제공받으며 동작을 수행하는 조건이었다. 종말적 시각 피드백 조건과 종말적 언어 피드백 조건, 그리고 종말적 혼합 피드백 조건은 각 시행 끝난 후에 동시적 피드백과 동일한 방법으로 보강적 피드백을 제공받는 조건이었다. 본 연구는 보강적 피드백의 제시시기와 제시방법에 따라 운동수행과 학습에 차이가 있는 가를 알아 보기 위하여, 각 시행 분단을 반복 측정하는 2(피드백 제시시기)×3(피드백 제시방법)×5(분단) 요인설계를 하였다. 즉각 파지단계와 지연 파지단계도 역시 삼원변량분석을 실시하였다. 통계처리는 윈도우용 SPSS (ver. 10.0)프로그램을 사용하였으며, 유의수준 P< .05에서 주효과와 상호작용효과를 분석하였으며, 통계적으로 유의한 차를 보인 부분은 사후검증 (Tukey`s HSD)을 실시하였다. 그에 따른 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 동시적 피드백과 종말적 피드백은 동작수행점수에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 둘째, 시각 피드백과 언어 피드백은 동작수행점수에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였고, 시각 피드백이 언어 피드백보다 동작수행점수가 좋았다. 셋째, 시각 피드백과 혼합 피드백은 동작수행점수에서 통계적의로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 넷째, 혼합 피드백과 언어 피드백은 동작수행점수에서 통계적의로 유의한 차이를 보였고, 혼합 피드백이 언어 피드백보다 동작수행점수가 좋았다. 다섯째, 분단간에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였고, 시행이 증가함에 따라 각 분단 모두에서 수행점수의 향상이 있었다.
