The purpose of this study was to develop a video program of physical education (PE) classes for teacher education and to examine the effects of viewing the video on competencies observation and execution of students and in-service teachers at colleges and centers.Firstly, 'characteristics of an effective physical education class' were revealed by reviewing relevant recent researches, and some criteria for selection of an exemplar physical education were set up. Those criteria were as follows ; 1)Highly rated class by children using formative class evaluation scales (Hasegawa ＆ Takahashi etc, 1995), 2)highly rated class in terms of momentum and climate through systematic observation analyses, 3)clarity of demonstrating practical suggestions for teaching PE. Based on those criteriaTakahashi developed the DVD contained twenty four PE classes highly evaluated (Takahashi, 2007). Those classes were selected from thousands of video tapes recoded over the past 20 years. Each class was edited t … More o around 10 minutes in duration.The effects of viewing the DVD were examined at several universities in which have Physical Education Teacher Education program. In case of University of Tsukuba, The DVD was used in two courses of PETE program. Students (n=65) watched the DVD in four out of ten lessons in the course of Teaching Practicum, in which student made lesson plans and practiced them using simulations. In contracts, students (n=240) watched the DVD in six out of ten lessons in Introduction to Teaching PE course, in which students learned theoretical and practical knowledge. Both students evaluated the classes on the DVD using an observer's evaluation questionnaire (Takahashi ＆ Hasegawa etc, 1996) after viewing each class.As predicted, students rated each class on the DVD highly. With each successive viewing student developed greater understanding and competency regarding the evaluation of PE classes. In addition, student reported that the DVD helped to shape a picture of what an effective PE class would look like Less
