國民學校 兒童의 餘暇活動 實態와 그 改善方向에 관한 硏究

Abstract

This study is intended to make on research analysis of schoolchildren's realities of recreational acticities and to explore their improvements. Based on the findings of this study, a conclusion was reached as follows: Firstly, Schoolchildren were spending their leisure hours mostly in going to private school, watching T.V , playing with friends, etc. Accordingly, they require educational instruction and interest from the household, the school and society so that they may make efficiently practical use of their leisure hours. Secondly, It was shown that they would use their friend's houses, playing space and school playground much as children's recreational ground. Not a few children were spending their spare time in playing on the blind alley, which could be dangerous to the safety for children. Since schoolchildren don't have a good idea of the playing place and the wholesome method of play, a further diversity of playing facilities and places should be provided for schoolchildren. Thirdly, it was shown that children's time to watch T.V account for more than 2-3 hours weekday and more than 4 hours on holidays. It was shown that most schoolchildren could select T.V channels on their own wish, and watch any T.V programs such as comedies, shows, etc indiscriminately from those for adults. Since children's watching T.V for a long time exerts a critical influence on health, thinking power, concentration, and character formation and sight, any measure should be taken for the guidance of schoolchildren such as watching hours, method and program selection. In addition,the technical study and measure, which can induce schoolchildren to watch educational broadcasting programs and drive T.V watching hours to reading, are needed to taken. Fourthly, most of schoolchildren were shown to enjoy electronic amusement machines in their own homes, and 13.19 percent of male schoolchildren used the electronic amusement room. Accordingly, special guidance is required as schoolchildren have many opportunities to encounter delinquent adolescents. On the other hand, the reason for their playing electronic amusement games was due to their fun, and it was shown that 20.36 percent of schoolchildren could relieved them from stress through electronic games. Diverse and wholesome play culture should be developed and distributed to children. Fifthly, it was shown that schoolchildren spent over three day a week on reading, and that male schoolchildren of them enjoyed reading in orders of sports, martial arts or detective story. Hence, schoolchildren are in a danger that they are likely to become violent and enjoy unreasonable thinking. The teacher or parents should instruct schoolchildren so that they can select good books. Sixthly, schoolchildren were shown to mostly go to private school for the study of inner calculation(40.47%), which is indirectly suggestive of parents' excessive enthusiasm for children's education. Seeing that this is not desirable to harmonious physical and spiritual development with emphasis on the education of knowledge, their parents should taken their schoolchildren's situation into consideration so that they can promote their specialty suitable to aptitude and enjoy their hobby life. Seventhly, it was revealed that schoolchildren would spend one to two hours a day in having a conversation with family members, of whom the subject of conversation was their mother. The contents of their conversation were relatively diverse and several with no bias to study, which is thought to be a desirable phenomenon. Moreover, parents should be a comfortable counsellor that can relieve them from conflicts and agonies through frank dialogues with deep interest in and understanding of their schoolchildren. Eighthly, it was shown that schoolchildren, on the whole, were satisfactory to leisure time. It is thought that this resulted from the lack of experience in a diversity of in schoolchildren. Accordingly, teachers and parents will have to be willing to give support for sound and diverse recreational activities by having deeper concern for and understanding of schoolchildren's recreational activities.
