Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore in depth elementary school teachers’ understanding and needs regarding safety domain in physical education curriculum.
 Methods For the purpose of study, six elementary school teachers serving at various regions across the country were selected as participants in this study, and qualitative research was carried out. Spradley’s (1980) domain analysis and taxonomic analysis were conducted with in-depth interview data collected and document data related to the purpose of study. Research integrity and ethics were continuously confirmed in the process of data analysis.
 Results Results of analysis are as follows: First, the elementary school teachers’ understanding about safety domain were analyzed into ‘safety domain of daily life,’ ‘safety domain of physical education activities,’ and ‘safety domain viewed from curriculum.’ Second, the needs for safety area education recognized by elementary school teachers were ‘physical education activities that can be sustained in a pandemic situation’, ‘strengthening the necessity and effectiveness of survival swimming education’, and ‘crisis management ability for safety accidents’.
 Conclusions In order to efficiently operate education in the safety area of physical education, elementary school teachers must have an in-depth understanding of the safety area, identify and solve problems related to needs, and build an educational environment in which safe physical education activities are possible. Additionally, teacher expertise in safety area education can be improved by strengthening behavioral strategies to respond to emergency situations.
