The purpose of this research is to clarify the aims and objectives of Olympic Education in China, which is being developed for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and then to identify the problems in each of the educational stages, according to a review of the history of Olympic Education in China. The research method used was to focus on the literature review and the analysis of websites of the IOC and the BOCOG.
The following four point were brought out according to the aims and objectives of Olympic Education in China: (1) In elementary school, Olympic Education is conducted to evoke recognition and concern about the Olympic Movement through acquisition of basic knowledge about the Olympic Games and development of practical activities; (2) In junior and senior high school, the emphasis is put on the understanding of the Olympic spirit, cultivate fair play, international peace and friendship, and fostering a life-long sport, etc; (3) In the university, Olympic Education is aimed to deepen respect and the mutual understanding of the diversity of culture and human beings through international friendship or through volunteer activity for the general university student. On the other hand, Olympic Education for the physical education students is aimed to train the specialist by teaching a theoretical course; and (4) For the public, Olympic Education is aimed to raise concern about Olympic Games through the mass media, such as television, radio and newspaper. Moreover, it is going to spread Olympic spirit through a community program like the “Shaqu”.
The following four problems can be pointed out: (1) In elementary school and junior and senior high schools, the aims and objectives, teaching methods, learning activity and the standard of evaluation are not decided clearly; (2) In the university, the positioning of the theory and practice of Olympic Education are not clear; (3) For the public, the institutionalization and systematization of Olympic Education are inadequate; and (4) As a whole, Olympic Education about peace and environmental education in China is insufficient.
