(School of Physical Education,Jiangsu Normal University,Xuzhou 221116,China) Abstract: The authors studied the current situation of physical education teacher pre-service and post-service edu-cation in China, and put forward the following opinions: problems in physical education teacher pre-service educa-tion were as follows: cultivation objectives deviated from post requirements; the irrationality of curriculum setup caused the homogeneity of cultivation results; textbook contents were obsolete, while class hours allocation was ir-rational; the “sports technology centered theory” caused teaching fragmentization; inadequate education practice caused students’ low ability to teach, etc.; while problems in physical education teacher post-service education mainly showed in such two extreme signs as inadequate teacher training management and too much administrative intervention. In addition, indefinite cultivation objectives, inaccurate orientation, and irrational training curriculum setup, were also seen at training centers. By analyzing the said problems, the authors expected the future develop-ment of physical education teacher education.
