Method
Not many people play petanque, so we
explored it through the Internet, face-to-face
interview, and personal experience
1) Internet
We used Yahoo
and Google to search for information. There
are many search engines on the Internet,
and we could easily gather information from
various places to our screen after entering
keywords. However, too few people play petanque,
so we couldn’t find much information about
this sport.
2) Interview
We have interviewed:
(1) Principle
and director of the school
We asked the principle and director to
share their thoughts and expectation for
the Petanque team.
(2) Petanque
coach
We learned his perspective
for the Xisong Petanque Team and players
and got the answers for our initial questions.
(3) Head
of physical education
We asked questions about his experience
with Petanque games, such as the requirements
for participation, number of players, court,
suitable ages, etc.
(4) Petanque
Team players
We
asked them about their thoughts on practicing,
feelings about the coach, and whether they
like petanque.
(5) Players
of other schools participated in the competition
When
we went to watch petanque matches of the
Chungcheng Cup, we interviewed some players
from other schools during rest.
(6) Parents
of players
We
asked about their thoughts on their children’s
participation in the Petanque Team.
In
a word, anyone related to petanque was our
target for interview. We learned a lot of
valuable knowledge from them.
3) Personal experience
(1) Observing
the Petanque Team:
We observed the Petanque Team while they
were practicing to see their team spirit
and how the coach trained them.
(2) Playing
petanque:
We played petanque with the team to check
our skill and their power.
