    This study begins with the following questions. Why should athletes keep rules of sport? What occurs in sport when cheaters break the rules?
    In relation to these questions, which explore basis or foundation of the rules, there are some precedent theories. Those are 1) rule absolutism or game formalism, 2) contextual contractualism, 3) externalism. Through my research on 1) and 2), a very important issue, namely, the ethos of the game rose. That is, an internal purpose of the game achieved as a result of realization of the game, and at the same time the basis of the rules. Furthermore, with regard to 3), it is not able to point out the basis of the rules because of denying the existence of this ethos: “internal purpose of sport”.
    All things considered, the ethos of game is to make a decision of victory or defeat. Therefore, a norm “Keep rules” itself is not always an absolute command, a categorical imperative, but a relative one, a hypothetical imperative. Consequently, all cheating, rule breaking, doesn't act on the game destructively. The rules of sport is fundamentally restricted by the ethos of sport under all circumstances. In other words, only this ethos: “the spirit of the sport”, forms the basis or foundation of the rules of sport.

    There has recently been neglected instruction of techniques in expression movement from the viewpoints of respect for individuality influenced by educational reform and importance of expression inherent in child body. But techniques of expression and its contents (inherent feeling) are mutually dependent.
    Therefore, the purpose of this study is to reconsider the relationship between the two through examining keyword of “NARIKIRU” in expression movement in order to clarify subject of dance education. “NARIKIRU” is the process of self-expression. Self-expression has the following three stages: “expression”→“representation”→“art”. “NARIKIRU” includes “expression stage” and “representation stage”. To reconsider boundary of the two from the viewpoints of forms of dance culture leads to one of main subject of dance education, i. e. improvement of child's “expression ability”.

    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.
