The purpose of this study was to clear the effective method of promoting Olympic and Paralympic Education (OPE) from the teacher’s view with focusing on the relationship with contents. Then, this study applied questionnaire survey composed 3 questions as follows: difficulties in caring out OPE, effect of OPE and problems in continuing OPE. Moreover, to classify the contents, it sat two categories, “Olympic athlete” or “Paralympic athlete” and “lecture” or “lecture & practical instruction.”
As a result, 6 new methods of promoting OPE were proposed except 3 methods in the previous study. First, as the common method of Olympic Education and Paralympic Education, 3 methods were cleared as follows: to create the PE model with based on the “practical instruction” by Olympic or Paralympic athletes, to create the model of some subjects, and to develop the program of teacher seminar. Moreover, to promote the Paralympic Education, 3 methods were proposed as follows: to work with para-sports association for securing the equipment of Paralympic sport, to promote barrier-free school facilities, to develop the program linked with “lecture” and “practice instruction” by Paralympic athletes.
However, this research excluded the OPE practice by teacher, not by Olympic and Paralympic athlete, even though previous study and also this study reported it. It will be necessary to consider it by same perspective as this study applied.
