Abstract
Neulbom School is a customized educational care service that links various educational resources from schools and local communities to support the growth and development of elementary school students beyond regular physical education classes. This study aims to examine the current status of the Neulbom School physical education program, based on the 2022 revised integrated curriculum, and to provide insights into future directions for education. In this study, 44 physical education programs registered in the Neulbom School online platform as of 2024 were selected for analysis. The alignment of these programs with the goals of the Neulbom School physical education curriculum was examined by assessing their connection to the achievement standards outlined in the “Joyful Life” component of the “2022 Revised National Curriculum”. There are significant findings of this study. First, the physical education programs in Neulbom School are predominantly focused on ‘play’ and do not fully integrate connections with cultural and artistic activities, therefore covering only a portion of the achievement standards of the “Joyful Life” curriculum. Second, while there is some alignment between Neulbom School and the “Joyful Life” curriculum, there is a lack of detailed explanation on how Neulbom School’s programs meet those specific achievement standards.
Third, there are discrepancies in understanding the connection with the achievement standards depending on the institutions managing the physical education programs. Specifically, 18% of the programs did not document any alignment with the achievement standards, or only made superficial references to curriculum connections. This could be attributed to a lack of understanding of the curriculum’s relevance, insufficient recognition of its importance, and inconsistencies in documentation methods.
