The subjects of this study were comprised of 15 certified full-time physical education teachers at selected schools in Seoul. A videotaping team visited 11 selected schools around Seoul and videotaped regular physical education classes Three observational instruments were used to collect data. First, teacher and student behavior and teacher-student interaction patterns were coded using Chefers' Adaptation of Flanders' Interaction Analysis System. Next, teacher and student involvement levels were coded using Individual Reaction Gestalt III. Finally, teaching effectiveness was rated using the Teacher Perforn1ance Criteria Questioru1aire. This study addressed five research questions, and a null hypothesis was fonnulated for each question, with the exception of question number two. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive and nonparametric statistical procedures. All hypotheses were tested utilizing the Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA test at the .05 and .1 level of significance. Additional comparisons using the Mann-Whitney Utest were made when significant differences between the three school levels were found using the Kruskal-Wallisone-way AN OVAtest. The Bonferroni adjusted level of significance (p<.05/3=.017 and p<.1/3=.033) was applied to the Mann-Whitney UTest. Furthermore, descriptive statistics were employed to determine frequencies/scores, means, and standard deviations for the data obtained using the three instruments. This study demonstrated that elementary school physical education classes exhibited more humanistic behaviors, such as acceptance of students' feelings and ideas, use of praise and encouragement, and use of various questioning techniques. Due to increased game-playing activities, elementary school classes displayed more student verbal and nonverbal analytical responses than middle and high school classes. In contrast, secondary school physical education classes were conducted in a highly hierarchical and militaristic atmosphere. In particular, corporal punishment was often used as a means to control classes. Middle school classes were conducted with a great deal of teacher input, including lecturing, criticism, and giving directions, and high school classes had a very structured atmosphere. / 2031-01-02

The purpose of this thesis is to relate literacy (nonformal education) to social development. It begins with a theoretical discussion on literacy and social development and uses Paulo Freire's dialogical framework to determine the contribution literacy can make. In using the context of a South Korean literacy campaign, this work covers the historical development of the Korean alphabet and initiation of Hangeul literacy. It examines the arrival of Christian missionaries in Korea and how they used literacy to maximise conversion and Church establishment. Literacy became the Christian Church's mission and this is examined in the light of the Korean struggle for independence during the Japanese occupation. The impact of literacy on social development in political, economic and social sectors is evaluated. The paper discusses the problem of literacy and social development in developing nations and suggests some strategies for the society and Church. / Thesis (M.Th.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2005.
