"Fresh look" at physical education

Abstract

Any rational, goal-oriented activity should be based on the thought what the simplest way to this goal is. A variety of guidelines, mostly from decision makers showing their expectations, are helpful in attaining these objectives. In school contexts, these guidelines are covered in a curriculum which defines the competencies which should be achieved at a specific stage of education. Nowadays, such a curriculum is a basis for teachers and students to create their own original programmes addressing specific requirements which can be accomplished under specific school conditions. It is important that this basis takes into account the expectations of the environment which creates and implements the process.
