(1.College of Physical Education,South China Normal University,Guangzhou 510631,China;2.College of Physical Education,Huazhong Normal University,Wuhan 430079,China;3.Department of Physical Education,Guangdong University of Technology,Guangzhou 510090,China) Abstract: Major characteristics of college subject specialty setup in such four countries as the United States, Brit-ain, Russia and Germany are as follows: in the United States, the mode of “statistics and induction” is mainly adopted, the right to independent education management of institutes of higher learning is fully respected, some room is reserved for the development of emerging and cross subjects, its subject specialty setup is open, and its sub-ject adding and deleting procedure is standardized, but there is a lack of thoughts about long-term strategic planning, and subject setup is significantly affected by the market mechanism; in Britain, college subject setup embodies the characteristic of getting close to the reality of life in terms of subject designation, but is significantly affected by the market mechanism; in Russia, the mode of “planning and deduction” is mainly adopted, its subject setup is highly unified, but its system is somewhat too huge, thus needs to be simplified; in Germany, college subject classification is highly comprehensive, the physical education subject and education subject are set up in parallel, and the physical education subject has a relatively high status and is well developed. The acquired enlightenment is as follows: for the construction of the physical education subject in China, we should select a more flexible subject setup mode, add “cross subjects”, and make the subject system more open; we should standardize our subject setup procedure, while in subject designation we should concurrently consider designation internationalization and the designation custom of our own nation; the physical education subject and education subject should be set up in parallel into subject branches, so as to boost further development of subject construction.
