This comparative research was designed to investigate the knowledge on the occupational abilities of 1345 secondary school physical education teachers from Hong Kong (n=513), Beijing (n=151), Shanghai (n=174), Guangzhou (n=192), Fuzhou (n=131) and Suzhou (n=184). The results indicate that the ability of teaching, organizing, training, and self-study were consistently considered as the most important factors for the secondary school physical education teachers. The physical education teachers from Hong Kong paid more attention to the ability of self-study than those from Inland China. Teachers from both Hong Kong and Inland China did not pay much attention to research and aesthetic abilities.

Apart from fun, challenges, and social interaction, one apparent learning outcome of physical education (PE) is the development of physical competence or attributes in terms of sport skills, general motor abilities, physical fitness, body outlook, etc. It seems likely that through school PE positive self-perceptions can be developed. Previous studies conducted among university and high school students across different countries confirmed that sport participation is related to more positive self-perceptions. However, it is not clear whether similar patterns can also be found in primary school children. This paper reports the findings of a recent study that involved 60 classes of upper primary pupils (N=2000) of ten Hong Kong schools. Cluster analysis was utilized to determine the relationship between sport participation and a set of psychological measures including goal orientations, global self-esteem, physical self-worth, and four sub-domain physical self-perceptions (sport competence, physical condition, body attractiveness, and physical strength). Findings were discussed in the light of social cognitive perspectives. Guidelines for teaching primary physical education were recommended.

Physical Education (PE) has been implemented in Hong Kong as a primary as well as a secondary school subject in the past few decades. It is, thus, very natural to see student teachers of PE bearing attributes that are shaped by the existing PE system. At present, quality of PE programmes varies largely across schools. Secondary school graduates are very different in their physical fitness, sport competence, and life style. In spite of this, it makes sense to expect student teachers of PE to be active, confident, and capable in exercise and sport performance. However, this can hardly be the case, given the constraints put forth by the academic-oriented admission procedures of teacher education programmes. In this study, 213 student teachers of primary PE from the Hong Kong Institute of Education were investigated. The study assessed physical self-concepts of year 1 and year 2/3 student teachers of primary physical education. Implications of the findings were discussed and recommendations for improving existing PE teacher education programme were made.

幼兒在學前階段無論在何處皆表現出持續的活力與動感。肢體活動是幼兒自然和天生的身體性需要和任務，具有生存、學習、溝通和遊戲之目的。從幼兒教育來看，幼兒透過肢體活動去學習，利用身體動作去探索發現、經驗和接觸周邊的環境和世界。但是香港近年幼兒體育課程之研究顯示，幼體課程缺乏教育性、經驗性、創意性和歡趣性的元素，因此，學前兒童的身心發展受到重大的阻礙。本文旨在介紹一個創新幼兒體育課程模式，揉結了創意、運動技能和運動教育概念的基礎元素，運用跨科綜合法來表達。本研究包括5所香港幼稚園/幼兒園。教師首先接受了4次共12小時綜合培訓，然後教師採用此模式的原則在園內為兒童設計的幼體課堂，而且學會如何正確運用身體去表達自己的感受，創造動感的肢體技能和進行有意義的探索和學習。此外，校長和教師十分贊同此模式的理念和推行原則，並且認為此種課程確能提升兒童的肢體智能、身心健康和創意表達。

This article reports a workshop presentation suggesting a conceptual framework of teaching soccer by adopting the TGfU approach for secondary school students in Hong Kong. It was intended to help teachers to tackle three basic questions of instruction namely, "Why to teach?", "What to teach?" and "How to teach?". Firstly, the emphasis of teaching soccer should focus on adopting experiental learning concept for cultivating the learning-to-learn skills highlighted in the current education reform. Secondly, the attacking and defending principles of soccer were assumed to develop themes as teaching content, which were the basics for all tactical concepts of soccer performance. Thirdly, teachers could make use of the teaching progression of a variety of games forms and cognitive deliberation techniques for sequencing learning experiences for students. The framework of using experiential learning as theoretical basis, developing learning-to-learn skills as possible objectives, selecting themes from attacking and defending principles as teaching content and sequencing teaching activities from the games forms and cognitive deliberation techniques served as practical guides for teachers to teach soccer by using the TGfU approach in the context of Hong Kong.
