Research Abstract

The major changes in physical education in both U.S.and Japan higher educations over the past few decades have been the reorganization of some programs and domains to reflect the view whether physical education is an academic discipline or career education. The primary purpose of this paper, which fully incorporates such a view, is that physical education does not necessarily prepare students for particular professional careers. Instead, such programs and academic domains provide a scholarly base of knowledge concerning the human movement sciences. This research attempts to compared between physical education as Professional preparation or as an academic discipline based on data in physical education major programs and tracks.
During the past two decades new tracks have emerged in undergraduate physical education programs in both the United States and Japan. Many physical education departments in colleges and universities in the U.S.broadened their programs and have been preparing students for a wider range of careers since 1980s. On the other hand, the same reform as physical education departments in colleges and universities in Japan has been confirmed during 1990s. The findings of this research supported that many physical education departments in the United States have responded more to the need to develop new tracks than in Japan. In addition, undergraduate physical education major programs in the U.S.require students to more credits in terms of internship, and take classes from other department such as biology, economics, management and so forth, compared to major programs in Japan.
