The purpose of this study was to examine the external validity of physical education in higher education (PEHE) courses based on the ADDIE model offered in previous studies. The subjects were a total of 154 undergraduate students (110 males : 44 females) taking a judo course in three different universities, and three junior faculty members who taught their respective courses. The judo course based on ADDIE model was offered at two universities, and a general judo course as a control was offered at the third university. The students answered a self-evaluation questionnaire on judo skills and teaching methods before and after their courses, and the lecturers were interviewed post-course completion. The self-evaluation questionnaire inquired on 11 judo techniques (eight throwing techniques and three hold techniques). The interviews questioned the lecturers about their outcomes and issues in offering the course. Self-evaluation scores were examined using the Kruskal-Wallis test for four universities, including those in the previous study (Kawato, et al., 2022). The results of student’s self-evaluation showed that the scores were significantly higher after than before the courses at all universities. Significant differences between universities were examined using the Steel-Dwass test. The results showed that the scores of the control course were significantly lower in terms of all techniques and teaching methods than those of the ADDIE model based courses. It means that the percentage of students who answered “sometimes or always able to do judo skills and to teach them” of the two intervention courses was higher than the control course and at the same level as the percentage of the previous study. Among the interviews, the lecturer in the control stated that it was not possible to pay attention to the whole course. On the other hand, two lecturers of the intervention courses indicated that they were able to guarantee the learning outcomes through their ingenuity in teaching based on the ADDIE model. The results demonstrated the effectiveness and its external validity of the ADDIE model in the design and implementation of judo courses. The process of lesson design for judo courses based on the ADDIE model provides useful suggestions for FD in PEHE.
