| Abstract |
The purpose of this paper was to develop an evaluation tool for a school sports facility. The research consisted of 4 phases: 1) analysis of
previous studies to draw main factors 2) development of evaluation items to measure the environmental quality of school sports facility, 3)
expert FGI to test content validity, 4) construct validity and internal consistency reliability analysis. The survey was administrated to 141
middle school students recruited from Busan and collected data were used to test validity and reliability of the evaluation tool. Validity and
reliability were examined using exploratory factor analysis and they were determined using cumulative explained variance and Cronbach alpha.
The results of this study is as follows. First, five factors(accessibility, safety, comfort, functionality, esthetic) and 48 detailed items were
developed and it was divided into two sections: outdoor school sports facility and indoor school sports facility. Second, exploratory factor
analysis of the evaluation tool for an outdoor school sports facility showed five factors explained 67.79% of the total variance and each
factor’s internal consistency(Cronbach alpha) was over 0.6 except for safety. Third, exploratory factor analysis of the evaluation tool for an
indoor school sports facility showed five factors explained 73.69% of the total variance and each factors’ internal consistency(Cronbach alpha)
was over 0.6. The evaluation tool may be utilized to measure the environmental quality of a school sports facility systematically and to find
out environmental elements that are in need of improvement. Also, it would be used as primary research to study the effect of a school
sports facility on various topics. |
