新大學法於八十三年元月頒布，使各大學院校體育課程有更大的彈性。針對這項 新規定，有些學校設計出新的體育課程，有些學校必須體育課程改為選修。在政策改變之下 ，各學校應該要慎重考慮有關課程，引導有計畫的改變及行政領導方式。 此研究針對臺灣地區大學院校的組織文化與體育課程作比較。 採用修正後 Trimble & Hensley 於 1998 年所設計美國國家運動暨體育學會的體育課程管理問卷，對臺灣六十所大 學院校體育室主任作問卷調查。 利用變異數分析（ Analysis of Variance, ANOVA ）及交 叉圖表（ Crosstabs ）分析最後結果。 發現體育課程的節數還是會受到選課人數減少及行 政高層決定的影響而遭致縮減，但是，體育室主任們也同時表達了對維持傳統體育課程的強 烈支持。

　　　　　With the establishment of The New University Code in 1994, Taiwan's colleges and universities were mandated to shift physical education from a required course to an elective. The four-year colleges and universities are now responsible for either developing new physical education programs or removing existing programs from their curriculum. Planned change and curriculum leadership are considered in light of policy changes regarding required physical education programs enacted by the Ministry of Education. This study compared the organizational structure and the curriculum of physical education at accredited colleges and universities in Taiwan. Chairpersons of physical education departments from 60 four-year colleges and universities were surveyed using a modified version of the Trimble & Hensley's Basic Instruction Program Questionnaire of 1998. Results were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and crosstabs. The findings confirmed that physical education programs were effected by declining enrollment and administrative decisions to eliminate them. However, at the same time, chairpersons expressed strong support for the maintenance of the traditional physical education curriculum.
