In practice teaching, a student teacher of physical education has various plans for physical education lessons. Researching their plans helps us for developing the training program of practice teaching. The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the student teachers’ plans for physical education lessons in the practice teaching by Text Mining method. 317 students (male=194, female=123) were participated in this study. In the subsequent lesson of practice teaching, they were asked about their plans in the form of the open-ended questions. We analyzed their free writing comments. The method of Text Mining was used for the credibility and the convenience in the process of analyzing. The characteristics of their descriptions were evaluated by the number of appearances of words. The words which occurred less than about 5% were excluded. On the other hand, the words whose number of appearances was prominent were also excluded, because these associations with contents were low.Six words which were “fun” (47 times), “explanation” (44 times), “think” (43 times), “use”, “example” and “voice” were extracted. The “fun” and “think” had various co-occurrences. Especially “think” co-occurred with “oneself” and “safe” frequently. The “explanation” co-occurred with “do” and “use”, and “voice” did with “big” and “speak”, respectively. The result of the dependency analysis indicated that “voice + speak”, “care + take”, “voice + big”, “example + show” and “direction + give” occurred more than 6 times. It was suggested that student teachers regarded “fun”, “safe” and “explanation” as important. The “voice” had little relationship with interaction between teachers and students. The method of Text Mining could be used for investigation of planning reports for physical education lessons in practice teaching.
