Abstract

It seems recently to be focused on moral education in Japan. How does physical education connect with moral education? And how may the physical education contribute for moral education? A purpose of this paper is to prospect for physical education as moral education. At first I would like to confirm the positions of physical education and moral education in a Japanese course of study and the like and to rind out issues. Secondly I clarify the limitation of the current moral education by examining (the theories of) moral education critically while considering the issues. At last I propose a viewpoint to get over the limitation and prospect for the potentiality of physical education as moral education. The result is as follows. The physical education has the potentiality of the moral education as far as to propose bodily experience. However, as well as physical education, it seems that our all activity is bodily experience. Therefore we must re-examine what does it mean that bodily experience is “bodily” in future.
