ABSTRACT
Training goal is the starting point and home to all educational activities, which concentrated reflects some social need and the basis of curriculum setting. In order to reform the curriculum setting, the first step is to make a scientific and clear position of the talent training goal. At present, Chinese physical education specialty in colleges and universities continue to use the same training goal as the ministry for national education issued in 2003 called ‘The Physical Education Curriculum Program in National Colleges’, which has implemented for 10 years up to now. During the ten years, social needs have a sea change, which causes Chinese higher education changing from the monotonous elite education to the diversified one and elite education is gradually replaced by mass education. But the training goal, curriculum setting and the teaching period of physical education specialty have no changes at all. The widening enrollment, the general decline of students’ physical fitness and the fast-changing social needs are all conflicted with curriculum settings of physical education.
