The purpose of the present study was to establish the future directions of the school-based physical education and community-based physical education in order to maximize the transition from the school-based physical education to the community-based physical education, which results in the development of lifetime leisure interests and habits. Based on the review of literature and other related research works, the follwoing results were identified.
1. The school-based physical education programs should be reconsidered in terms of the credit hours, the adequate security of facilities and instrucational devices, and teacher's effective management of the class hours. In addition, the increase of the number of female teachers in elementary schools who have a negative attitude toward physical activity should be effectively treated.
2. The interests in and investments on nation-wild lifetime physical education should be expended and the coordinating function of professional organizations involved in physical education for consistent development needs to be facilitated.
3. The three main factors, including facilities, programs, and leaders, are prerequisite to the effective physical activities.
In order to solve the programs related to facilities, it will be necessary to consolidate the facility standards, to modernize and systematize the facilities, to expand the private physical education facilities, and to open the school physical education facilities. Regarding the programs related to programs, it will be necessary to develop the programs in which everybody can learn in easy and which is appropriate to the conditions of the given community. Thirteen institutions operate the personnel preparation programs for the leaders in lifetime physical education. However, they are not fulfilling their functions because of the preponderance of commercial facilities.
One of the most important considerations is that the structure in Korea is based on family-oriented one. Investment of facilities and resources in schools is needed to effectively implement the community-based physical education that is family-oriented, in which parents and students participate together. At the same time, the development of a variety of physical education programs in the school-based physical education are needed.
