米国における体育測定評価学略史（1861-1964）と日本の初期測評学発達に関する一考察

抄録

　Three topics, namely (1) Origin of Japan’s School Physical Examination Program in 1987, (2) Influence of Kraus-Weber Test of Minimum Muscular Strength (1954) to establish the President’s Council on Youth Fitness in the United States (1961), and (3) Installment of Japan’s Sports Test Battery by the Ministry of Education in 1964, have been selected for historical and evaluative discussions to be included in this study. In topics (1) and (3), the contents of the test and measurement studies in the United States of the times were found to be well reflected into the Japan’s counter part. In terms of topic (2), the development in the United States called a keen attention of the test and measurement researchers in Japan. The historical background of the development of each topic has been reviewed by use of reference materials and then certain evaluative discussions have been made.
