댄스스포츠 선수의 성인지 감수성 향상방안에 관한 고찰 = A Study on How to Improve Gender Sensitivity of DanceSport Competitors

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to explore ways to improve gender sensitivity among DanceSport competitors by examining how DanceSport competitors perceive and respond to physical contact during training, depending on their experience. To accomplish this goal, eight dance competitors, four with less than five years of experience and four with more than five years of experience, were selected to participate in the study, which utilized narrative inquiry as one of the qualitative research methods. The results of this study are as follows. First, DanceSport competitors with less than 5 years of experience were found to be more sensitive to touching during training, while competitors with more than 5 years of experience were found to be relatively insensitive. Second, in terms of response to unwanted touching in DanceSport, competitors with less than 5 years of experience were found to be more likely to respond immediately, while competitors with more than 5 years of experience were found to be more likely to ignore or stage it. Third, measures to improve the gender sensitivity of DanceSports athletes were identified as mandatory education, introduction of an education completion confirmation system, and establishment of an online reporting window. It is hoped that this study will provide a useful basis for improving the gender sensitivity of DanceSport competitors and for developing educational and institutional measures to rationally resolve various gender-related conflict situations that occur in DanceSport.
