Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research is concerned with the reform of physical education on schools that advocate a “learning community.” It aimed to develop the design of a high-quality physical education learning and promote a support network for teachers as a hub of our research institutions. We originally developed the Calendar of Learning (physical education for elementary school children: early, middle, and late elementary grades) in order to realize “physical education classes and learning for the 21st century.” It is a monthly desk calendar starting in April. It arranges the design of course units based on the range and content of new courses of study for twelve months. In addition, 418 teachers and other educators participated in the Learning Meeting that we organized for stimulating exchange of ideas on its practice and research among them.
