Summary:碩士 === 國立花蓮師範學院 === 多元文化研究所 === 88 === Abstract The objective of this research is to promote the right of equality education for both genders based on “respecting difference”. Through realizing of the education in dodge ball at primary school, all teachers and students can understand the damage to athletic education by gender stereotyped insights. Furthermore, make students share experience and certify their own exercise abilities. The subjects of this research are the sixth grade students and their athletic instructors in one of Taipei’s primary school. The methods are interviews and observations. From April 1999 to April 2000, totally 24 times of present observations and 36 interviews are conducted. Due to the countless hidden labeled perceptions in the culture of dodge ball, the essay only focuses on the following subjects: 1. The alienated culture in exercise: states from the exercise natural, the exercise process, and the exercise results. A. The exercise natural. In school, dodge ball is a social behavior from the society point of view. The limitation to female in exercise structure, such as leadership, occupied lots, strengthens the female’s participating willing under paternal society. Secondly, many students, not only boys but girls, only participate dodge ball in “listening” and “watching”. B. The exercise process. The emphasis of skill-oriented makes the win or lose replaces interests and funs to become the objective of exercise in dodge ball. It also gets rid off poor-skills persons to join in. Another emphasis of administration-oriented makes instructors and students unharmonious and poor relationship because the instructor’s dominates the skills, rules, records, and even organization. C. The exercise results. The interaction of human, culture, and society makes the specialized in rank and makes students separated from dodge ball. 2. The exercise space allocation and deprivation A. Under physics space: we can find the division of laber and interaction principle of dodge ball. B. Under society space: we can find interaction patterns, content, and rhythm of man. 3. The stereotyped gender prejudice The constructions of physical teachers’ stereotyped gender which can effect dodge ball teaching betwin teacher and student, result in reproducing stereotyped gender to the student. 4. The analyses of stereotyped gender prejudice''' In this study we can find that students’ sports culture of dodge ball are in the intertwined web of the sports alienation, space deprivation, and gender stereotyped and personal sports experiences. Gender stereotyped is constructed and developed in the dodge ball, but woman and man are treated differently in the process of gender stereotyped, and based on that, different view of sports take shape. However, the hegemony mechanism of gender stereotyped construction will no longer be stable, for the “new pattern” dodge ball teaching can possibly disconstruct gender stereotyped and rewriting of the older discourse. In the last part of this study, we hope that, in addition to the expectation for the students’, teachers in school can encourge the students to share their sports experience and provide multiple demonstrations to make the student’sports ability more flexible. This study pays more attention to the single aspect of the dodge ball and the thoughts of the students. As for the other field research, the teachers’ sports experiences and thoughts can be further explored in the future.
