抄録

The purpose of this study was to find out the present status of physical educators in special schools, such as having the teacher's license or not, learning special education before or after the graduation, problems in teaching, recommendations for teaching or educators of physical education in special schools from now on, and so on.
The method of this study was the questionnaire technique. As the results, the answers were gathered from 1028 physical educators in 287 different special schools, and followings were deduced;
1. It is difficult to say that the system of teacher's license and the policy of educational services are well, because only a quarter of the subjects have qualified licenses for physical education in special schools and the majority of them do not wish to place themselves in special schools.
2. It is guessed that experiences of the subjects for special education are quite poor, because less than 30 percent of them have some study about special education before the graduation and the majority of them have up to 5-year teaching career in special schools and many of them are new hands.
3. Almost of all subjects have many problems in teaching. Main problem of them is how to deal with the difference in abilities or proficiencies of each pupil, however, many of them are related with instruction techniques and the knowledges of teaching, so it is possible to solve the problems due to promote and improve the curricula of teacher's colleges or universities and educational environment in special schools.
4. Physical educators in special schools do want to emphasize physical fitness of the handicapped rather than sports skills of them, and to engage not only the teachers interested but all other colleague in teaching the handicapped. And over 80 percent of them recognize and recommend the necessity of studying about the handicapped before the graduation.
5. However, totally saying, from the view point of the system of license and the policy of educational services, the surroundings of physical educators in special schools are not adequate, and of course, it is guessed that the system and the policy do not discharge their duty. In other words, after solving the above all problem and developing the field of special education, it seems that the future status of physical education for the handicapped will become bright.
