First of all; for determining the criteria of study, fuzzy Delphi method and then the TOPSIS method were used to weighting teachers' opinion. The study population included two groups: 15 physical education experts that have research experience on Olympic, and 300 physical education teachers. Five criteria included knowledge resources, cultural factor, financial resource, efficiency and hardware equipment selected by experts as important criteria. And regarding these criteria's, life based approach that weighted 0/804 was the most important approach and experience based approach that weighted 0/733 was less important than other approach. Between educational methods, combination of values with social challenge of students and educating social issues by using athletes' experiences had higher priority. Regarding that Olympic education is a new issue in the world, knowledge resources was the most important criteria to choose educational approaches and method. Life based approach was first priority that show the great need to change traditional education system and become more relevant with modern education systems.
