Abstract
The purpose of this study is to reconsider a general idea of “consideration to others” in order to clarify “relation with others” in physical education. The reason for this is as follows: 1) “Relation with others” is necessary for us, but it is a vague expression. The meaning of the term, “relation” is expected to be specified by examination of the term, “consideration”, meaning of which is to “lead the situation to good one”. 2) By focusing on “consideration to others”, it will be possible to examine what should be done from the side of “the subject”. For this purpose, this study examines theories of “crowd”, “care”, and “manners”, and analyzes a concrete examples in sports.
To conclude, the “consideration to others” is defined as follows: it is not just a feelings but ability to interpret situation from a certain viewpoint and to produce the necessary action. Furthermore, “consideration to others” is concerned not only for “the other” but also for “me” because both “the other” and “I” are together in the same situation. And this ability especially in sport scene is “the one to interpret the movement of things and others and to produce necessary action”. In the process of learning of movement skill there seems to be many experiences of “consideration to others” and therefore it should be one of the main tasks of physical education to guarantee opportunity of “consideration to others”.
