This study examined the effects of teachers` feedback intervention on motor-on-task behaviors of students.Three randomly selected, experienced (average 11years teaching) elementary school teachers from P school in seoul, KOREA, were invited to participate in the study.Each teacher was asked to plan and implement an instructional unit with the same goals to three separate Grade 2 classes(Fundamental movements and game) Class sige varied from 50 to 60 students. Three middle-skilled subjects from each classes were selected and coded by trained observers using the Academic Learning Time-physical Education system.A multiple basetime research design across teachers was used to evaluate the effects of feedback to teachers of behavioral data gathered in basetime lessons.Three teachers received such feedback increased the amount of time students spent in motor-on-task behavior(+20%).The students showed that although there were considerable differences in how physical education lessons were implemented, the how intervention teachers were able to respond to feedback and to modify their lessons so that the amount of student participation was increased.
