Considering the academic chaos that studies of physical education is confronted with, we find it left in an academic entanglment. It is difficult to seek a guide about where and how to start our studies.
Thus, the aim of this study is to check the nature and character of studies of physical education as well as the latest theories. The followings are the result of my study.
1. The nature of studies of physical education can be regulated as an universal cognitive system of independent object area.
2. The character of studies of physical education can be defined as a study of athletic physical education can be defined as a study of athletic phenomenon, of human bodily movement, or of other problems concerning athletic phenomenon and bodily movement.
3. Studies of ohysical education includes scientism in its theoretical terms and artistic quality in its practical terms.
4. According to the characteristics of its research objects, specified areas in studies of physical education can be classified into natural science, studies of ideas, and psychological studies.
5. Research of education needs an integration of analytical and non-analytical methods. Despite the possible drawbacks of analytical method, rigorous analytical method should be the primary basis of studies of physical education.
As I have examined the characteristics of studies of physical education, previous physical education studies were inclined to build principles or concept. But I think that investigation of structure in our thinking should be the future direction of studies of physical education as well as the central function of philosophy of physical education.
On the basis, specified areas in studies of physical education can be properly evaluated.
