Its purpose is to look into the law of current situation and development of special education in Beijing, to analyze its affecting factors and thereby to provide important basis for better development of special schools and for decision making of administration organizations in Beijing.Current situation of physical education in special schools in Beijing: (1) The school scale is not large. The amounts of pupils are almost between 50 and 100. There are about 6-10 students in each class. Male female ratio is about 2:1. (2)MostP.E. teachers are middle-aged. The quantity of male teachers is almost three times of that of female teachers. The average time of working for special education is 8.8 years. Most teachers are already obtained bachelor degree, but there is still no teacher who has obtained postgraduate degree. The levels of PE teachers'professional title increase with age. P. E. teachers who are major in physical education occupy the biggest proportion, but still less than half of the whole. P.E. teachers who major in special education occupy one-quarter of the whole. The average class hour in training of P. E. teachers is 12 every year. Teachers who major in physical education participate more training programs than teachers in other majors. There is no significant difference on training hours between teachers in different majors. (3) Teaching work is difficult to promote without complete curriculum standards for students in special schools. In most cases, teaching program, teaching target and teaching evaluation are made by teachers, lacking of objectivity. Teaching courses are abundant and which courses will be selected is affected by Special Olympics in certain extent. The "Delivering teaches to visit" is pressed into P. E. teaching organization form. (4) Extracurricular sports develop well, while the frequency of single sports competition is slightly less. (5)As supplement forms of physical education, integrative training and sports rehabilitation training develops well in special schools. P. E. teachers major in physical education take on two-fifth of the workload of integrative training and sports rehabilitation training. (6) Field constructions are far from standards. Especially as for the track and field construction, no school could reach the standards. Basketball court, table tennis field and fixed the sports facilities are constructed better. Integrative training rooms are constructed better than other indoor constructions. Multimedia computer and tape recorder are the most commonly used modern teaching facility. Special schools usually supplement sports equipment in two ways. In one hand, school supplement sports equipment irregularly. One the other hand, the education committee distributes equipments directly. More than half of the P. E. teachers are not satisfied with the current situation of sports field, facilities and equipments.
