This study aims to interpret interculturalism and find its meaning through the World Cities choreographed by Pina Bausch among contemporary dance works. This study analyzed Masurca Fogo, which was performed in Germany in 2018 among the World Cities. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the primary and secondary data on Masurca Fogo were analyzed using literature research. The following results were derived by dividing into choreography process, dancers, and movements. The analysis results are as follows. First, the choreographer encountered racial and cultural diversity through activities in the United States and Germany, and tried to find an alternative to coexistence, based on a deep understanding of the life, culture, and languages of different countries. Second, a choreographer and dancers could exchange different cultural backgrounds and communicate freely through understanding and respect for each other’s cultures. Third, when organizing the work, they chose to use the daily lives of people in each country as independent episodes or they broke up the boundaries between reality and the stage by using video.

The purpose of the study is to provide readers with insight into how reading children’s literature, such as the novel The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, can provide meaningful opportunities for developing children’s awareness of healthy development. The study examined the efficacy of physical exercise and body-mind connectivity, Burnett’s holistic approaches in the novel, perceptions of her era’s medical treatment, her experience with mainstream treatments, aspirations for the novel by investigating analytical articles, literature reviews. Furthermore, the study introduces contemporary research and books that describe how physical exercise is associated with physiology and the brain, and culturally responsive teaching for children’s healthy development. The study concluded that reading the novel could have a great impact on instilling the importance of physical exercise, social interactions, positive thoughts, emotional development, and nature in students. The book was first published in 1911 and there might be a concern that some aspects of the book may not be paralleled with contemporary educational circumstances and children’s physical growth. However, after examining the literature review, the study proves that the book encompasses general principles of children’s physical exercise and healthy growth. The study suggests promoting meaningful readings to children, such as Burnett’s novel, positively influences children’s awareness of physical exercise and healthy development.

COVID-19 pandemic is causing drastic changes in the exiting educational environment. Korean government guidelines on the physical distance between people, banning indoor physical activities, and restricting even outdoor physical education in educational institutions promote physical inactivity among young learners. General subjects in schools have been replaced by virtual education, but physical education still exposes the following challenges: First of all, physical education teachers and students often experience a lack of systematic platforms in virtual physical education. It is difficult to change the contents of physical education for virtual learning even if they change the contents, the environment imposed on young students varies too much by an individual to carry out and learn the contents correctly. Secondly, physical education teachers are not familiar with legal issues of various educational content needed for virtual learning, and there is a great fear of legal punishment regarding infringement of copyright and intellectual property of educational contents. Lastly, for young students, effective communication with teachers is becoming more difficult compared to the traditional face-to-face physical education setting. The paradigm shift, which boldly breaks away from existing learning objectives and provides sufficient infrastructure to prevent learners from receiving inequality in physical education, and maintains healthy physical strength through easy content, will be the way to overcome the changing educational environment due to COVID-19 pandemic.

This study aimed to identify and categorize the components of therapeutic exercise program (TEP) for children with developmental disabilities, potentially to increasing their remedial effects and physical activities. A TEP refers to the restoration process of physical functions and performance of human beings by engaging in a form of physical exercise. A comprehensive and objective category was developed systematically based on the extensive review of literature in the fields of therapeutic exercise, patient management, sports medicine, sports science, and other related areas. The identified categories included (a) anatomical features (e.g., physiological functions), (b) motor and skills (e.g., flexibility, physical strength), and (c) personal background (e.g., medication, family history). In addition, three training components (those with upper limbs, whole body, and lower limbs) were proposed for each of the five standard anatomical positions (i.e., standing position, prone position, supine, lateral recumbent, sitting potion). Based on the results, the value of this study and some practical guidelines (e.g., customization of TEP) were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect on social development, self-esteem, and learning attitude of middle school students by constructing a physical activity program called 'rope skipping' and 'Daejanggong'. The 63 middle school students had to perform 10 sessions of Daejanggong and rope skipping. The measures of the study were social development inventory, Rosenberg self-esteem scale and learning attitude inventory. The physical activity programs were organized through expert consultation, prior research, and student interviews to improve research participants' sociality, self-esteem, and learning attitude. The results of this study were as follows: First, physical activity gives a positive impact on the social development of students. Second, physical activity was found to improve middle school students' self-esteem. Third, physical activity improves the learning attitude of students, and the more strenuous activity it was, the higher academic performance was shown. The discussion of how physical activity affects and enhances exercise participation rate on adolescents were presented.

This paper investigates to uncover the unheard stories of older Korean migrants living in Auckland, who shifted out from Korea in later life. The stories are shared by six older Koreans who participated in a semi-structured interview, five female, and one male. The study identified three factors considered to play a part in well ageing for those older migrants. The three facets are 1) a learning experience; 2) a sense of belongingness and; 3) self-contentment. The findings from the study suggest perception of what is seen as well ageing that distinguishes the participants in this study from those older Koreans living in Korea. While there has been a continuous interest in the sector of well ageing, there is still a lack of understanding that specifically looks at the well ageing process in older migrants around the globe. This paper contributes to knowledge on the perception of the well ageing process based on the shared thoughts of older migrants.

This study was conducted for the purpose of providing data and methodology to effectively manage college sports teams by analyzing the relationship between athlete’s self-management strategies, athlete satisfaction and stress level. Data were obtained from college athletes across thirteen sports in the Seoul metro-area through convenience sampling methods of which 252 were considered to be valid samples. Data analysis was processed using SPSS 21.0 version. We conducted frequency analysis to understand the subjects’ characteristics, exploratory factor analysis to verify validity and reliability of the survey tool, correlation analysis to identify relationship between variables and regression analysis to investigate influence. The data has shown that self-management strategies of athletes have a significant impact on the athlete’s satisfaction and stress level. It also showed that athlete satisfaction partially affected the stress level of the athletes.
