The purpose of this paper was to provide basic data which might contribute to practice the right value and meaning of Taekwondo in the education field and standardized Taekwondo classes by investigating the current conditions of Taekwondo classes and finding a solution for them. For that purpose, a survey was done among 306 teachers including teachers who participated in the job training and regular in-service training, teachers at many elementary schools in C city, Gangwon-do and Y city, Gyeongsangnam-do, and elementary school teachers in the graduate school at H University. The results of this study were as follows:
First, male teachers were at better understanding of Taekwondo classes than female teachers and also teachers who directly or indirectly experienced Taekwondo understood it better than the teachers who had only little interest in Taekwondo. The teachers with little interest understood Taekwondo sperficially and had only fragmentary knowledge and little understanding of practical knowledge concerning Taekwondo and its classes. Furthermore, the actual classes had been disturbed by a number of restrictions and problems due to the teachers\' poor awareness of Taekwondo.
Second, only when the reform of university entrance examination and employment system, expansion of Taekwondo education through in-service training for teachers, revitalization of developing physical education teachers exclusively, employment of external instructors and active support for administrative agencies related to Taekwondo happen, the Taekwondo classes will be back on the right track.
※ Key words : Taekwondo class, teachers\' awareness, fragmentary knowledge
