Answer 1

Answer:

STUDY OF THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN ENGLAND By KAZUO UCHIUMI* Foreword 'What are the aims and objectives of Physical Education (P.E.)?' 'Does the title P.E. match its contents?'. . . . .These questions are common and widespread, not on]y in Britain, but all around the world. For example, in West Germany, many states changed the title to 'Sports Education' in the 1970's. In England and Wales it seems that the Department of Education and Science (D.E.S.) has suggested changing the title to 'Movement Education'. This decision is based on the following quote from Moving and Growing: "'Physical education" may not be permanently regarded as a satisfactory term. . . . . . It may not be long before we realize that the term "physical"-in relation to humanity -has a very limited meaning [1].' Since the publication of this book, many opinions have been suggested with regard to this change. Since the setting-up of the Schools Council's Physical Education Subject Committee (1967), a reformation of the P.E. curriculum has been discussed regarding the title, the ends and the contents of P.E. Our subject was born as Physical Training (or Exercises) and grew to Physical Education. It seems to the author that our subject may be currently confronting the third stage of its historical development. Accordingly, the author will examine the aims and objectives of P.E., and then, try to distinguish between them at three different levels as follows : (1) The categories of the aims and objectives of P.E.-it is required to gather the ideas which have been noted so far, for example, on health, physical fitness, mental and social attitudes and skill acquisition. (2) The sources of the aims and objectives of P.E.-the author proposes three sources which rule the aims and objectives from the lowest level, but are independent of them directly. In other words, the latter depends fundamentally on the former. All opinidns.regarding the aims and objectives of P.E., without exception, are based on these sources. (3) The way of thinking regarding the aims and objectives of P.E.-'Why and how are the aims and objectives constructed ?' With regard to this question, there are many problems : for instance, some say that physical fitness is the objective of P.E, and others differ. Of these three levels, the first item (categories) is easily understood because we can find and observe many of these items basically anywhere. The second item (sources) will be reached only through the former, and the third (way of thinking) will depend on both items. The author shall mainly confine himself in this paper to examing the second item through the first and, needless to say, this examination will provide a springboard to the third. $ Associate Professor (Jokyoifu) of Physical Educatio
