The Training of Physical-Education Teachers in France and China: A Comparative Analysis of Curricula and Attitudes
Overview & Synopsis
This study in comparative physical education examines the curricula followed by physical-education teachers in China and France. It explores how theories of physical education and sport in each country have developed out of specific political, cultural and educational contexts, yet resulted in strong similarities in terms of the priority given to training programs. Nonetheless, it can be seen that the two curricula reflect genuinely divergent concepts of physical education influencing both theory and practice. The attitudes of Chinese and French teacher trainers towards physical education and sport are shown to display significant ideological differences with regard to the meaning and educational import of these activities.
