對香港、北京、上海、廣州、福州、蘇州的部分中學體育教師關於21世紀體育教師應具備的能力的問卷調查和統計分析顯示，香港與內地中學體育教師相當一致地認為，教學能力、組織能力、訓練能力、自學能力是中學體育教師最重要的能力，香港教師比內地教師更注重自學能力，兩地教師在中學體育教師應具備科研能力和審美能力方面存在認識不足。

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.

對香港、廣州、北京、上海、福州、蘇州在職中學體育教師進行問卷調查，對未來體育教師應具備的能力，以及在校學習課程的模式進行分析比較結果顯示，香港和內地在職中學體育教師對未來體育教師能力培養及知識結構認識上有很多相同之處，然而由於兩地在教育體制等方面的差異，對能力及知識結構重要性的排序存在差異。

Games teaching in Hong Kong lies heavily on the teaching of techniques. Evidence which reflects the current situation of games teaching in Hong Kong, can be found from physical education curriculum, the views of physical education lecturers, national governing bodies and secondary school teachers of physical education.
Teaching games for understanding (TGFU) is an innovation in games teaching. It was first documented and introduced to Hong Kong in 1994. Subsequently, several studies have been conducted to investigate the affective aspects of physical education teachers and students by teaching Basketball and Volleyball with two different approaches - the skill-based approach and the TGFU approach. The findings indicated that the teachers and students found the new teaching approach more enjoyable. Hence, this research supports the adoption of TGFU by physical education teachers as Hong Kong moves towards the 21 sI Century.
