(1.School of Physical Education and Sport Training,Shanghai University of Sport,Shanghai 200438,China; 2.Shanghai Xiangyin Kindergarten,Shanghai 200438,China) Abstract: The authors compared school physical education in developed countries worldwide with school physical education in China, and found that in developed countries, physical education curriculum objectives were more com-prehensive; curriculum contents were diversified and systematic; specialized and generalized physical education teach-ers coexisted; teacher training contents were diversified and supervision was valued; the special physical education system was more perfected; the outward development of school physical education was good. In China, curriculum contents ignored psychology and social adaptation objectives; the contents focused overly on sports techniques and their connections were insufficient; physical education teachers were mostly specialized but their teaching ability was relatively weak; in teacher training, theories were valued and examination was unvalued; special physical education was valued but not mature; the inward development of school physical education had prominent limitations. The au-thors proposed that China should establish a diversified physical education learning evaluation system, improve physi-cal education teacher cultivating and training quality, ensure the physical education rights of students in special groups, and strengthen the communication and cooperation between schools, communities and families.
