What are the main characteristics of physical education teaching?

1. Compared with other sports forms, the basic feature of sports is its outstanding educational and teaching nature. Any physical education teaching is a planned teaching process under the guidance of teachers (or instructors), that is, the learning and exercise process of the sports subject (object) itself.

2. Physical education takes teaching as the main form, classroom teaching or special counseling as the main form, and physical exercise and health care as the main means. These characteristics distinguish sports from other sports forms.

3. The concrete forms of physical education are various, not just school physical education. It is obviously inappropriate to equate sports (sports in a narrow sense) with school sports. This is not only difficult to justify in theory, but also leads to the neglect of physical education outside school (as it is in practice).

4. The most common and largest activity in physical education is school physical education and professional physical education, which interact and depend on each other, reflecting an interactive relationship.

If the programmatic document of sports wants a simple definition of sports applicable to all contexts, this definition doesn't say anything to anyone. As we all know, physical education teaching is a purposeful and complex human activity. The essence of human activities exists in the world of human purpose, ideal and meaning, and cannot be explained by objective natural attributes or laws.

Therefore, it is impossible to define the definition of education and physical education in a descriptive or prescriptive way, but only in an appropriate or normative way to seek a correct or best programmatic definition.
