Abstract

In this study, the present study considers the situations in the field more extensively and investigates the actual conditions among student-athletes, aiming to solve the issues associated with the right for learning and find out any relevance between learning desire and P.E. attitude depending on academic achievement levels in ‘student-athletes`` playing active roles in school sports teams. Study subjects are a total of 235 students attending junior and senior high schools located in the capital area. Study subjects` academic achievement scores and a questionnaire survey on P.E. attitudes and learning desire were used to collect data. In order to understand differences and similarities in P.E. attitude and learning desire depending on academic achievement levels in student-athletes attending junior and senior high schools, MANOVA was conducted and a logistic regression model was set for analysis. The findings from the analysis are as follows: First, as for the difference depending on academic achievement levels in junior and senior high schools, a significant difference was found in P.E. attitude sub-factor based on group characteristics of student-athletes. Second, in terms of differences depending on academic achievement levels in junior and senior high schools, a significant difference was found in P.E. learning desire sub-factor based on student-athletes` group characteristics. Third, it was predictable that, in reference to negative affect, physical activities and movements, active participation and enthusiastic performance, P.E. attitude in student-athletes whose academic achievement levels were high was higher than that of the group of lower academic achievement levels. Fourth, in terms of learning attitude and method as well as the sense of competence, it was predictable that the group of higher academic achievement levels had higher P.E. learning desire compared to the group of lower academic achievement levels.
