Abstract: The purpose of this study is to clarify the concept of physical education learning approach through the analysis on Physical Education Learning Methods. The author of Physical Education Learning Methods equates "sports learning approach" with the "physical learning method", even the individual behavior of students in sports classroom, which is contrary to the intention of instructing students to "learn how to learn" in the book. The concrete and narrow boundary of physical education learning methods in the book causes the involution of physical education leaning methods, and confusion of teaching methods and learning methods. As a result, the real concept of physical learning approach becomes obscured. Defining physical learning approach as the law or rule of learning physical education can distinguish sports learning approach from sports learning method, learning behavior, learning ability and other related concepts. According to the requirements of comprehensively deepening curriculum reform, in school physical education, especially in the primary education stage, shifting the teaching focus from sports game teaching to learning approach teaching is in line with the modern teaching concept of developing students' core literacy, and will empower students to meet the needs of lifelong growth and social development.

Key words: physical education learning approach, physical education learning method, teaching law, concept, physical education
