The purpose of this study is to help improve the educational activities in Japanese educational institutions overseas; through improving the teaching skills of teachers, improving children’s physical fitness, and raising their interest toward lifetime physical activities.
The teachers’ work load has been increasing in its quality and quantity due to the diversification of individualized support for children, parents’ expectations towards their children’s education, and the academic development regarding the training of Japanese educators who will lead the global society of the future.
Accordingly, the improvement of teachers’ teaching skills has become an urgent problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified that“ physical inactivity” is now the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality and published a global recommendation to every country. Physical disability problems have also been a common issue around the world.
This study of the actions in Japanese educational institutions overseas, which have very strict conditions today, would certainly be a part of the solution to our educational issues.
