This study was motivated to seek for the ways how physical education and the education for physical
education teachers should be improved at the universities of education in order to realize valued-centered
physical activities education, a goal of new curriculum, at the elementary physical education. As a
methodology to achieve the purpose, Bereday (1964)'s comparative analysis methodology was revised
according to the purpose of this study by analyzing the characteristics and problems of physical education
teachers' curriculum at 10 universities of education in a nation. The results showed that physical education
teachers' curriculum in a country were classified largely into general education curriculum of physical
education, physical education subject curriculum, physical education practical education process, and physical
education intensive curriculum. In specific, each curriculum included both theory and practice. For example,
courses related with theoretical approach dealt mostly with academic fields of sub-contents research, which
has been treated in the field of physical education traditionally. In addition, the contents of practical courses
consisted of sports mainly, which was recognized as the core contents of sports-function-focused curriculum.
As a result, both courses were lack of the reflection of valued-centered physical activities education
curriculum. Therefore, several suggestions were made for directions of elementary physical education teachers
at the universities of education to be in line with new curriculum. First, teaching contents and methodology,
which were pursued in a revised curriculum, should be provided. Next, it was necessary to introduce a
certification of physical education by reflecting attributes of the university of education. Lastly, it was
necessary that previous physical education experience should be included before screening the university
admission.
