This study is a case study that was conducted with students alienated from PE, and aims to
find out reasons why the students had to be alienated, along with solutions that smoothly
induce them to participate in PE. Hereupon, this study observed changes in students’ behaviors
and attitudes before and after taking the class model which is one of practice models of
introductory PE. Four third grade students of middle school located in Gyungnam province was
chosen as a target group. Data were collected by non-participation/participation observation,
interview, and students’ diary of PE. Inductive analysis method was utilized to analyze collected
data, along with the triangulation of information, member check, and expert consultation to
resolve the credibility issue which may occur during the process of analysis and interpretation.
The result is as followed. First, students were alienated from PE before experiencing HOPE, and
the reasons were the lack of personal ability to learn exercise, the way of PE only forced by
teachers, and simple, tedious physical class. Second, students experienced significant changes
after having HOPE. With application of HOPE, students showed small changes of repetitive
“yes” and “no”, such as “I can do it”, “I can’t do it”, “PE, how exciting it is…!”. Based on such
result, this thesis suggested the way of HOPE method influencing alienated students more
effectively as follows: Firstly, it is the diversification of direct or indirect experiencing activities,
including narrative one. In other words, it is intended to enable customized education and
self-chosen education by researching and presenting new activities suitable for the school
environment and the level of students. Secondly, it is an education on indirect teaching activity.
Trainings should be offered to previous and incumbent teachers on overall contents of indirect
teaching activity. If the foregoing is preceded, natural responses and measures toward alienated
students will induce them to the education venue.
