| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 體育學系碩士班 === 101 === The purposes of this study were to understand the current status quo and obstacles of swimming courses and to investigate the differences of risk management for those physical education teachers and administrators of elementary schools without swimming pools in Kaohsiung City. The results of this research were based upon the questionnaires collected from 241 schools in Kaohsiung City. A number of 574 questionnaires have been collected from among the 723 distributed with a return rate of 79%. Finally, the data was analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, factorial analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Schēffe post-hoc comparison. The conclusions of this research were listed as follows.
First, swimming course is being conducted with a percentage of 40%. Students from grade 3 to grade 6 occupy the most proportion. Each instructor is responsible for 11 to 20 students most averagely. The sequence of swimming program content is skills, aquatic self-rescue skills, life-saving knowledge, and rescue-by-oneself capabilities. The coaches are mostly hired from the swimming companies who also provide the pick-up service. Sources of budget mainly come from students. When swimming course is conducted, the most desirable support is “help security maintenance” and “qualified instructor.” Passing rate of students swimming ability examination is up to 20% - less than 50%. Top four obstacles ranked are safety concerns, uneasy to swift classes, budget deficit and shortly qualified teachers.
Secondly, differences of background variables result in implementing the risk management of swimming courses. Teachers of non-pool elementary schools exit significant differences in variables like various administrative positions and participation in professional development of aquatic risk management. Risk factors beyond swimming courses include teacher education curricular preparation, in-effecting swimming teaching, avoidance of the risk factors among swimming teaching courses, and implementation of the risk management during swimming courses.
