Abstract
Accountability is the objective for education reform in the 1990s. In Hong Kong, there are no suitable and publicly acceptable accountability systems for the physical education curriculum, thus curriculum design, and teaching content, as well as teaching effectiveness related to the school physical education will generally neglected. The education reform started in 2001 and the consultation for the “334” system of the senior reform began in 2004. As a result, the aims of physical education have generally been accepted by teachers. However, the reform design was flawed with a mismatch among the aims, content and assessment. This was due to the lack of suitable and acceptable accountability systems. Based on the accountability system approach, this paper evaluates the design of the physical education curriculum and the problems in the current curriculum implementation, based on which comments have been suggested.
