This analysis examines the soccer unit in high school PE textbooks, revealing gaps in understanding and curriculum alignment.
The purpose of this study was to empirically analyze how it was reflected in the 2022 revised high school physical education textbooks soccer unit to achieve ‘structure of the process’ and 'in-depth understanding', which are the core values of the 2022 revised Korean national curriculum. To this end, eight high school physical education textbooks were selected. Specifically, soccer units were analyzed in the high school ‘PE 1’ textbooks. As a research method, five elements were specified and analyzed through frequency analysis and content analysis. As a result of frequency analysis, ‘other areas corresponding to function(37.4%)’, ‘function(23.9%)’, ‘strategy(17.5%)’, ‘concept(9.2%)’, and ‘generalization(1.1%)’ were found. Second, there was a disparity between the textbooks and the curriculum in terms of the deeper understanding. Third, there were few "questions to induce exploratory generalization" that discovered the principle on their own and transferred it to other sports or life's universal context.
