School physical education both in Korea and Japan has, until now, been conducted according to the curriculum made by the Ministry of Education. We should take it into consideration how effectively those curricula have been carried out for their specific aims. It is no exaggeration to say that, since the liberation there has been great deal of change in our physical education system. It is belived, due to a long period of foreign influences and the confusion of the Korean War, that we are somewhat backward, and rather imitative and adoptive, as opposed to creative and original, in the study and establishment of our curriculum of physical education. In order to discover how much of the curriculum has been put into practice, I intend to undertake an analysis for the purpose of comparing the present physical education in both countries. Also, the differences in working conditions for the teachers and the results of those differences will be studied. The long range objective of this study is to create a plan to improve and develop our school physical education.
