여자대학생의 필라테스 수업 참여 과정 탐색: 근거이론 적용

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the process of female college students’ participation in Pilates classes through grounded theory. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 7 female college students who participated in the liberal arts classes in ‘Life Sports’ and ‘Pilates’ opened at University B in Gyeonggi-do. From the collected data, paradigm models were derived through open coding and axis coding, and core categories and story outlines were extracted through selective coding. Result: “Participating in Pilates class” appeared as the central phenomenon, and the causal situations were ‘Negative body perception’ and ‘Curiosity about Pilates’. Contextual conditions were ‘concurrent class and exercise’ and ‘expensive Pilates’, and mediating conditions were ‘participation facilitator’ and ‘participation hindrance factor’. The action/interaction strategy was ‘motor communication’ and ‘teacher’s support’, and according to the action/interaction strategy, ‘change of body attitude’ and ‘improvement of professionalism’ appeared. Conclusion: Participants recognized the effects of Pilates through Pilates class and their attitude toward the body changed. Based on this study, it is expected that discussions on the possibility of various field applications of Pilates and the professionalism of Pilates as a college physical education class will continue.
