Behind the discussions on the content of Physical Education in the late 60s, there was some consideration of the scientific approach to education. At that time there was some debate about what should be taught for Physical Education. Also, it was maintained that evaluation in a Physical Education class should not be based on performance in a certain sport, but on the subject matter content taught in the class. Discussing this issue, the author concluded that scientific research methods and findings of sport sciences should be taught practically in Physical Education classes. However, in order to specify the appropriate content of Physical Education, we still need to consider 1) the relationship between cognitive ability of children and the object of cognition, 2) a teaching method appropriate to the object of cognition, and 3) the reasons for teaching specific aspects of Physical Education. Answering these questions will also help to explain why people should do sport. As our social, historical and cultural contexts are different from those of Europeans and Americans, we should not take the same viewpoint as them. Based on our own experience of the transformation we should transmit our thoughts to the world to change sport for them.
