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

从发给二战前的东京女子体操音乐学校毕业生的调查中可以清楚地看出几点。这些毕业生是女性体育教师。大约80%或90%的人主要在课堂上教授舞蹈。大多数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所有的体育课。地区通常，每个女子学校有两名体育老师。一男一女。教师的数量使得男教体育女教舞蹈的课程设置。女性体育教育工作者对此感到很舒服。从明治20年代后期开始，有一种说法，认为女子体育是由女体育家来教授的。但这并不普遍。当看到热情的学生，当学生完成了自己的任务，当老师能够与学生和毕业生交流时，他们感到很满足。20%的人说他们没有困难。然而，也有人普遍认为，女性体育的辛苦，包括妊娠期、产后的教育、课后、假期的加班等等。三分之一的体育教师认为，一般人都很重视女性体育。他们中的三分之一认为很少。80%的女性体育教育工作者高度评价女性体育教育工作者。我们以前认为女性体育教育工作者对自己选择的领域缺乏自信，因为她们是女性，她们是体育教育工作者。然而，研究表明相反。他们主要教舞蹈，他们对自己的工作感到自豪和满意，所以他们可以在很长一段时间内完成自己的职业而不转换主题。

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.
