A Research trend of Measurement and Evaluation in Physical Education and Sports Science

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

PURPOSE: When the long-awaited Korean society for Measurement and Evaluation in Physical Education and Sports Science(KSME) was established in 1998, KSME faced a turning point in its growth. Following the changes in both quality and quantity of the society"s researches since its establishment and seeking for future themes is important for the society. METHODS: This research analyzed the society"s research trend using mainly the Korean Journal of Measurement Evaluation in Physical Education and Sports Science. Then, by examining the physical fitness test, it proposed possible future themes for the KSME. This research also looked into the American Kinesmetrics’ contribution to Kinesiology, its research trend and future researches. RESULTS: The KSME"s recent researches show refined quality, diversified themes and reinforcements in practical researches. Regarding the themes, the reliability and validity of tests became predominant, sports analysis and physical activity emerged, and interest in measurement and evaluation in school PE was low. Possible research themes in the future are measurement and evaluation in school PE, game analysis and sport big data. The recent interest of the American Kinesmetrics was the cross validation of criterion-referenced physical fitness cut-off score, the validation of the guideline for physical activity, and the relationship between sedentary behavior and health. CONCLUSIONS: Possible future research themes of the American Kinesmetrics were the refinement of test methods, the effectiveness of the physical fitness test award system, and the application of the ubiquitous wearable technology.
