A motivation training program (AMPET program) was constructed on the basis of the Expectancy-Affect Model proposed by Nishida and Sawa (1993). The essence of the program was to increase expectancy and affect which the pupils would experience in physical education class.The AMPET program was administered 2 times (Case 1 and 2) to the different pupils by each physical education teacher. Both results showed expected changes in the variables of the achievement motivation for learning, enjoyment, intrinsic motivation, friendships, and learning activities in physical education class. These results indicated the effectiveness and applicability of the AMPET program presented in this practical study.
