Utilizing the key words indexed by CSSCI research theses to analyze the hot topics and trend of re-searches on a subject can demonstrate relevant research results of that subject, thus being a powerful supplement to the study of that subject. However, there has been no such work published so far. The CSSCI database for the years 2000-2004 has collected 11,487 key words indexed by various research theses on the science of physical education. The authors sorted, analyzed and studied top 100 key words therein, which are most frequently indexed, thus re-vealing associated information regarding the hot topics and trend of academic researches on the science of physical education: In terms of physical education teaching, the research projects are mostly about curriculum construction and teaching methods; in terms of competitive sport, the research projects are mostly about track and field, basket-ball, volleyball, Ping-Pong and competitive gymnastics; in terms of social sport, the research projects are mostly about sports system reform, social sports policy, and legal system construction. Key words: science of physical education; indexed key words; hot topic of physical education science; Bibliomet-rics |
