The quality of teaching is related to the student's learning outcomes. Good teaching
supports and aids students in achieving high-quality learning. The purpose of the present
study was to analyze the conceptions on ‘good teaching’ of physical education teachers in
secondary school. Seventy (59 males and 11 females) physical education teachers, who were
subjected to the study, were selected from secondary schools in Seoul and Incheon
metropolitan cities. The survey instrument used for the study, called the 'Questionnaire for
Conception of Importance-Performance on Good Teaching of Physical Education Teachers',
consisted of thirty questions on perspectives and characteristics of good teaching. The results
of the study were summarized as follows: First, it was founded that important perspective
of good teaching for physical education was forming the ordering of relationship,
transmission, product, and constructivist perspective on the good instructional practice.
Second, it was also summarized that characteristics of good teaching for physical education
was such as: Contents motivating students and adapting learners' prior knowledge was
important factor, whereas higher level thinking skills was less level of conception; Active
interaction between teacher and learners was important factor, whereas giving much
responsibility to learners was less level of conception; Helpful technologies and active
interaction were important factor; Performance evaluation closely linked to instructional
activities was the most important characteristic with cognitive, affective, and psycho-motor
domains. Lastly, from the results of importance-performance analysis, the characteristics of
good teaching in the 'concentrate here' area were 'effective utilization of instructional
technologies' and 'instructional environment with proper physical equipments.' In conclusion,
physical education teachers tended to consider the 'good teaching' practice from the
relationship, transmission, and product perspectives. The constructivist perspective on the
'good teaching' has been emphasized in the theory and research in the knowledge-based
information society, however, teachers still placed more emphasis on effective delivery of
subject matter knowledge. The difference between theory and practice in perceiving the
'good teaching' calls for the dialog and consensus in the physical education communities.
