The conceptual dimension of knowledge is understood as the «knowing what», usually communicating or teaching from different schooldisciplines, except in physical education. The objective of the present investigation is to understand the knowledge in physical education from itsconceptual dimension expressed by the students of Chile and Colombia and to establish the differences that exist in the variables (gender, country, andage). The study was methodologically descriptive and cross sectional using a single measurement. For this purpose, a psychometric instrument wascreated and validated. The results indicate that only 21.3% in the case of Chile and 9.5% in Colombia managed to surpass the average score of thequestionnaire (16 points). These results demonstrate a low culture of conceptual knowledge that the students of Chile and Colombia have.
