A Study on the Education by Female Physical Educators in Japan before World War II

从对东京女子体操和音乐学校毕业生的调查中，有几点变得清晰起来，她们是二战前的女性体育教育者。大约80%或90%的人主要在课堂上教授舞蹈。更多的人认为女性体育教师必须教舞蹈。只有15%的人认为女性体育教师必须教授所有的体育领域。通常，每个女校都有两个体育老师。一个是男的，一个是女的。教师人数使男教体育的课程改为女教舞蹈的课程。女性体育教育者对此感到很舒服。从明治20年代末开始，出现了由女性体育教师教授女子体育的趋势。但这并不普遍。很抱歉，我只是在跳舞。当他们看到热情的学生，当学生能够完成他们的任务，当老师能够与学生和毕业生沟通时，他们感到很满足。20%的人说他们没有困难。然而，其他常见的困难包括怀孕期间和分娩后的教学，课后和假期的延长时间等等。三分之一的体育教师认为，人们普遍高度重视女性的体育项目。三分之一的人想得很少。80%的女性体育工作者对女性体育工作者给予高度评价。我们之前认为女性体育工作者在她们选择的领域中缺乏自尊，因为她们是女性，她们是体育工作者。然而，研究表明情况恰恰相反。他们主要教舞蹈，他们对自己的工作感到自豪和满足，所以他们可以在不转换专业的情况下长期完成自己的职业。

Several points became clear from the survey sent to the graduates of Tokyo Women's gymnastics and music school who were the female physical educators of before world war II.About 80 or 90 percent of them taught dance primarily in their class. The greater number of them thought that female physical educators had to teach dance. Only 15 percent of them thought that female physical educators had to teach all p.e. areas. Usually, there were two p.e.teachers each girl's school. One was male and the other was female. The number of teachers made the curriculum that male taught athletics female taught dance. And female physical educators felt comfortable with this. From the late twenties of meiji era, there was an idial that women's physical educations were taught by female physical educators. But this was not universal. I'm sorry to say that was only dance.They felt fulfillled when they sau enthusiastic students, when the students could achieve their tasks, when teachers could communicate with students and graduates. 20 percent of them wrote they had no hardships. However others commonly stated hardships included teaching during the period of pregnancy and after delivery, extended hours both after class and during holiday and so forth.A third of p.e.teachers thought people in general highly valued women's p.e.programs. And a third of them thought little. 80 percent of women's physical educators highly valued women's physical educators.We had thought previously that female physichal educators had had poor self-esteem relating to their chosen field because they were women, they were physical educators. However research shows to the contrary. They taught dance primarily and they had pride and many satisfactions in their jobs so they could accomplish their profession long time without switching subject.
