The purpose of this study was to examine the content of instruction in the long jump class of upper-grade elementary school children. The subjects in this study were 90 children (52 boys and 38 girls) of the 5th grade and 71 children (31 boys and 40 girls) of the 6th grade. In the unit of 6 classes, it was practiced which “The rhythm up long jump” focused on the approach phase of long jump as main teaching materials. Motion during the long jump of children was analyzed through the criteria for observational evaluation of the long jump. As result, followings were clarified.
1. “The rhythm up long jump” was effective as teaching materials of long jump in upper-grade elementary school children.
2. The criteria for observational evaluation comprised 5 items and 5 stages, which were shown to have reliability, objectivity and validity for evaluating the series of motions during the long jump.
3. In the class of long jump in upper-grade elementary school children, it was important to take up the technique of improving a rhythm in last 5 steps in the approach run which decided a count of steps.
4. In the class of long jump in upper-grade elementary school children, it was necessary to do instruction to make the children set a count of steps that suits the self and the distance of the approach run that issuitable for it.
5. In the class of long jump in upper-grade elementary school children, it is preferable to take up the content of instruction derived in this study based on the content of study shown in the description ofCourse of Study for elementary school about physical education.
