碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 體育學系碩士班 === 94 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the value orientation of physical education curriculum from three teachers, who were novitiate in teaching somatic movement education after their learning the concept of Somatics. This study mainly adopted the qualitative research methods, such as video observation of teaching, personal interviews and document analysis, to collect the relative research data. The results were as follows： 1. Three teachers’ value in six dimensions of the physical education curriculum, mainly includes: (1) to emphasize the importance of body-mind connection. (2) to enhance the self-awareness of body. (3) to learn how to use body and re-educate the body function. (4) to be a guider instead of instructor. (5) to encourage students’ self-development and self-identity. (6) to evaluate the learning process by multiple assessments. 2. After studying the concept of Somatics, three teachers had changed in their physical education ideology and teaching. Those changes were: (1) bringing the body-mind ideology into their teaching. (2) focusing more on natural body activities instead of sport skill. (3) respecting individuals’ bodies and their differences. (4) encouraging students to use their bodies wisely. (5) insisting on students’ self-identity and no comparison with others. From the process of investigating the value orientation of physical education curriculum from these three teachers, it was obvious to present that somatic movement education could provide teachers with another choice in teaching physical education, especially in the concept of learning how to learn and respecting the individual body. It truly can offer teachers with different perspectives in designing physical education curriculum for the future.
