Differences between Physical Education in Vietnam and foreign countries

Abstract

The article synthesizes and analyzes relevant documents to evaluate factors of cultural origin, impact mechanisms, and concepts of pathways that limit the integration of sports and education. The results show: 1) Differences in cultural origin promote the difference between humanistic thinking and scientific thinking in subjects’ perception of physical activity; 2) The institutional inertia of the “national system” of sports development in Vietnam has led to bad trends in the choice of sports activities; 3) Enlightenment of thought and physical training is the key path to achieving integration between sports and education.
