광복전후 체조과의 변용과 교과서 편찬

Abstract

This study examined the establishment and popularization realities of the National Health Gymnastics carried out for the whole nation as a domain of ‘new physical education movement’ initiated shortly after the liberation from Japanese occupation, and reached the following conclusions through reviewing the primary historical sources such as the first volume of Chosun Chejo Yonmang Collections, bulletins, newspapers, photographs, autobiographies and other related materials. The establishment of the Chosun Chejo Yonmang(August 11, 1946) was made on the basis of the trend of Chosun sports world recognizing as the national policy the restoration of the national power through the accommodation of new physical education ideology and the nation founding on physical education, and to reform the national brand, ‘Korea’. The establishment and popularization of the Chosun Chejo Yonmang is thought to have been a turning point from the nation-leading physical education based on school physical education in the times before the liberation to civilian-leading physical education based on athletics in public.
