Abstract: Objective To explore the specialty system of special physical education at master's level.Methods Professional competency for special physical education was developed using the World Health Organization Rehabilitation Competency Framework (RCF), and was applied to the exploration of theoretical structure and methodological system for the construction of special physical education program at master's level.Results Based on the RCF, a competency framework for special physical education teachers was constructed, involving in five areas: practice, professionalism, learning and development, management and leadership, and research. The proficiency of competencies and activities should attain the corresponding level. The construction of special physical education program should be built to highlight the characteristics of RCF and focus on the training of competency in four areas: education objectives, instructional methods, the curriculum of the program and instructional assessment.Conclusion A competency-based program at the master's level in special physical education has been constructed using the RCF. The program uses the RCF to specify professional competency standards for special physical education teachers, and this can be transformed into the content of the competency-based program for special physical education at the master's level. The RCF is used to construct a competency-based special physical education system, which can be used to specify the educational objectives, instructional modalities, specialized core curriculum, and content and methods of instructional assessment in the design of a special physical education program at the master's level.
