The purpose of this study is to propose a new viewpoint about what it means for children to play sport with others in the physical education class. For this purpose, the paper will focus on the concept of “Wirbeziehung” which means “We-relationship” in English. And also it will show how we can make use of the concept in the physical education class. Compared with other curriculums, the physical education class seems to be tightly related to the formation of children's “social attitude” although it is difficult to accomplish this formation. One of the main reasons for this is as follows: although there are two dimensions of “Wirbeziehung” at the physical education class, i. e., good relationship with others in general and in sports, these two has not been clearly distinguished. Therefore it is necessary to clarify the former in order to characterize the originality of the latter. As this paper analyze this concept not only theoretically but also practically, a few examples of sport at the physical education class are taken.
To conclude, the originality of “Wirbeziehung” includes the skills of “being with others”. In addition, it is also related to such skills as “learning of movement skill, ” “competition, ” and “cooperation, ” which are co-related. In order to recognize the difference between these two dimensions of “Wirbeziehung, ” it is necessary to consider what children should learn and we should teach.
