民國八十三年新大學法頒佈實施，對於大專校院的體育課程產生了重大的影響。本研究以問卷調查的方式，調查123所大專校院關於學生數、師生比等基本資料，以及體育行政單位、師資結構等人事行政資料，並配合八十五及九十學年度的相關資料，觀察近年來的體育行政及人事變遷。研究結果發現目前除師範院校之外，大多數大專校院體育課班級人數多於大專校院整體平均班級人數。大專校院體育教師的學歷有升高的趨勢，歷年來碩士及博士體育教師的比例逐漸升高。在體育行政組織的定位及隸屬方面，只有四到五成的學校將體育室列為一級單位，且有六成左右的學校並未讓體育室（組）以獨立的方式運作，而是以隸屬於教務處、學務處等其他單位之下的方式來運作。體育行政主管（體育室主任、體育組組長）多由講師和副教授來擔任，且絕大多數係由校長遴選，任期及連任規定極富彈性。大專校院體育課程係必修或選修，最高決策單位為校務會議或教務會議。七成以上的大專校院體育室（組）不需額外負擔管理社團活動之責。且多數大專校院訂有教師進修規定，規範教師研究辦法，並實施教師教學評鑑。
The new university legislation enforced in 1994 had a strong influence on the administration and the personnel structure of physical education in colleges and universities. This study investigated the change of the physical education administration and personnel structure after the new university legislation was enacted in Taiwan. The numbers of students, the ratio of teachers and students of 123 colleges and universities were calculated as the environmental background. The physical education administration units and the personnel structure were investigated by a questionnaire. Data were compared between the related studies in 1996 and 2001 to examine the changes throughout these years. The results revealed that the average number of students in physical education classes was greater than other classes. The educational level of the physical education teachers improved. The number of teachers holding masters' and doctoral degrees increased. Only in 40 to 50 percent of colleges and universities were physical education administration units at the first administration level. Only in 60 percent of colleges and universities did the physical education administration units function independently. Most of the chairpersons of the physical education administration units were instructors or associate professors and were selected by the presidents of the colleges and universities. Whether the physical education courses were required or selective was determined by the school committees. Seventy percent of the physical education administration units were not in charge of activities unrelated to physical education. Finally, most of the colleges and universities had rules to regulate research, advanced education and teaching evaluation of the physical education teachers.
