LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese. This study explored the views of 296 serving physical education (PE) teachers concerning the interface of secondary and primary school PE in Hong Kong. Attached to the interpretive research perspective, questionnaire and follow-up telephone interviews were adopted for soliciting their views on the importance, measures taken and suggestions for improvement. The findings indicated that over 91% of serving PE teachers acknowledged the importance of interface for facilitating pupils’ learning. Similar articulations with the functions and content of school PE that facilitated the interface were found. Although 21% of them claimed that they had taken some measures for enhancing curricular interface, most of them were not systematic and well-planned. Thus, most PE teachers looked forward to a standardized curriculum stipulated by the Education Bureau as to ensure the effectiveness of the interface. The study suggests reinforcing teachers’ awareness of the interface of PE; considering the inclusion of PE in the internal school assessment for the Secondary School Places Allocation System and strengthening the interface from system, school and classroom levels. Consequently, it would enhance the learning and teaching in physical education. 本文旨在探討296位在職體育教師對中小學體育課程銜接的意見。研究以詮釋理念為依據，透過問卷及跟進電話訪談以顯證他們對體育課程銜接的重要性、實施措施和改善建議的意見。結果顯示九成一在職體育教師認同銜接對促進學生學習的重要性，認定學校體育功能和所教授內容相近，有利相關課程的銜接。雖然有百分之二十一在職體育教師表示已推展一些課程銜接措施，但有關銜接措施未見系統及計劃推行。大多數體育教師期望教育局能訂定一系列標準課程以確保其成效。本研究建議提升體育教師對課程銜接的醒覺性，考慮將體育納入為小學升中呈分試科目之一，並從系統、學校及課室等層面上優化中小學體育課程的銜接，促進學與教。

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.This paper discusses the suitability of modularization of Physical Education Curriculum in Hong Kong secondary schools. It highlights the features, strength and limitations of a modular curriculum framework. The strength of the framework is that it allows greater flexibility for content coverage, better ensures curriculum continuity, and better fulfills accountability to the society. Nevertheless, it also highlights that modularization is merely a strategy for curriculum organization so that it does not contribute much to an alleviation of issues outside the scope of curriculum organization.本文探討中學體育課程全面單元化的適切性； 包括單元課程的內涵、優點和不足。優點方面， 包括提高課程的延續性和內容涵蓋面，與及在社會問責方面的承擔。不足的地方，在於它只是課程組織的一個方法，因此對解決課程組織以外的問題幫助不大。

Human Right

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.In many countries, a major rationale for curriculum design in physical education is that it promotes a physically active lifestyle among the youths and provides a basis for the development of fundamental sports skills. Access to physical education and sport is not only a fundamental human right but it also promotes health, desirable social attitudes and values. Based on the above rationale physical education was introduced to Botswana secondary schools in 1999. In this study, the Botswana secondary school physical education curriculum was analysed regarding its potential role in sports development in the country. Structured interviews were carried out with Principals of selected public secondary schools in which physical education is a teaching subject and the curriculum development unit in the Ministry of Education. Results were discussed in the following specific areas: curriculum content analysis, implementation problems, time allocation, provision of teaching and learning resources, funding, personnel, opportunities for competitive sport participation and assessment procedures. Problems affecting the teaching of physical education in Botswana were also discussed and possible solutions proffered. Finally, analysis of implications of the physical education curriculum for sport development in Botswana was presented.體育運動對學童成長過程非常重要，本文旨在探討非洲波斯尼亞中學體育課程，從多方面分析體育課程與體育運動發展的關係，透過與校長及敎育部長面談，了解影響體育運動發展的原因。
