ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the process of expanding elective courses in a liberal arts high school based on the efforts of physical education teachers to expand the physical education department. To this end, High School A, which will be expanding its physical education curriculum from 2025, was selected as the subject of the study, and four teachers who worked or are working at the school were selected as research participants, and the data analysis was conducted using the inductive analysis method. The results of the study were based on the following themes: '1. Understanding the school's situation,' '2. Growing the influence of the physical education department,' '3. Struggling to make physical education an elective course,' and '4. Practicing the dream of expansion with junior teachers. Based on these findings, we developed a discussion on the topics of 'Physical education teachers' interest and efforts to expand physical education courses' and 'Ensuring students' right to choose subjects by taking advantage of the high school credit system'. Based on the cases in this study, we concluded that students should be provided with the opportunity to choose and study various subjects related to physical education in order to fulfill the purpose of the high school credit system.
