Abstract

The school being a cultural facility has specifically include sports in the "Curriculum Content." Its inclusion could also affect the proper functioning of the "Common Basic Education for Citizens." What is important could be the inclusion of the "Common Basic Education for Citizens" and the "Minimum Essential" in the structure of the curriculum contents. It could be considers as an important basis of the evaluation that should be undertaken. Also, this "Minimum Essential" seemingly lack of "Common Cognition" and "Practice" related to the "Posture" of the teacher. It could also be started that the "Optional Class System" is inappropriate since the "Action" of the teachers in the class is important. It is one of the first task to be made in order to promote the special "Meaning" that could be though of as the beginning. Based on the aforementioned statements, the main points of this research are summarized as follow: 1) In considering the importance of the principle of "Bodily Knowledge" and "Experimentalism", although the "Curriculum Content" theory and its being incorporated immediately could be considered to be valuable, the plan prepared by Izuhara which suggest the primordial importance of "Lecture" as a teaching method could not be considered as the basis of the organization of the principle. 2) In the principle of separating sports and exercise from school, being a social institution with its existence in the society and the world, it is important to take note of the importance of (1) fairness in education, (2) value to the region, and (3) closeness to the daily life activities. 3) The segregation principle of "Curriculum Content" and the "Teaching-Learning Materials" could be classify into 2. However, the "Minimum Essential" could promote the acquisition of the concept of "Commonality" and "Meaning" to the teachers and learners.
