[ABSTRACT] The aim of this paper is to show the teaching method of college physical education in order to satisfy the needs of lifelong learning society. As various problems have appeared in technological society which has brought us the comfortable way of life, it has been pointed out that it is time to reconsider our modem way of life from the global viewpoint. Therefore, it is significant to consider education of all the stages in this context, and lifelong learning society has become one of the key concepts in which the idea of the pursuit of human dignity and self-existence is most worthy. College physical education is also to be considered in relation the idea of lifelong learning society. Among various teaching materials of physical education, gymnastics and sports are expected to be the best because they directly concern the recognition of self-existence although they are normally regarded as the useful means in order to strengthen human body. In the practice of gymnastics and sports the following viewpoints are especially to be emphasized: 1. Students should pay more attention to the control of their bodies than to the mere acquisition of skills and their related knowledge. 2. Teachers should lay stress on the learning process of the control of students' bodies rather than the results of their learning. 3. The facilitation of the process above rather than the mere introduction of skills and knowledge should be emphasized.
