Treating about 20 colleges(except the sports school) as the object of investigation,the paper has concluded as follows:1.Tae Kwon do is easy to learn and it does well to physical health, self-defense and personal accomplishment.That is why it has been favored and welcomed by students.2.Nowadays the percentage of the beginning courses is so low as to be only 20%in Shandong colleges.This phenomenon deserves a special attention and measures should be taken to promote that percentage.For example,the leaders concerned are supposed to attach importance to this subject and make more efforts to construct ground.3.The general structure of professional titles requires to be readjusted in Shandong province.A majority of instructors are young with pretty low titles. There appear a lack of professional instructors with the truth that more than half of the instructors graduate from some other majors.Firstly they need the further study of the technical knowledge of Tae Kwon do.The about mentioned are the factors that prevent Tae Kwon do from developing rapidly in colleges.4.In colleges the time limit of Tae Kwon do course is set in one semester, which is disadvantageous to improve the students' ability systematically. Only after at least two semesters' courses can students gradually grasp comprehensive knowledge systematically,form the habit of exercising and then lay a solid foundation of life-long practice.5.Because colleges haven' t unified the textbooks,the teaching contents are monotonous.Methods should be taken to create conditions and enrich the contents.Pure technical " marking system " is detrimental to the comprehensive assessment of the students' levels.Taking every factor into overall consideration,we should take the form of " level plus grade " system.6.It is true that five colleges of Shandong province possess relatively poor ground and equipment,which are disadvantageous to the Tae Kwon do courses.7.A majority of students select Tae Kwon do course with a clear objective.
