碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 特殊教育學系 === 97 === This study is composed by qualitative research method. The research objective is to investigate the situation of two blind junior high students (Jay and Wen, both pseudonyms) who have participated in adapted physical education; during the implementation of adapted physical education, how was the teacher, Mr. Liu (pseudonym) teaching and adjusting the method according with the special needs of blind students. After the data analysis and interpretation, this study composed the learning situation with adapted physical education for Jay and Wen, and adjustments in teaching from five dimensions: “Fundamental Motor Ability”, “Physical Fitness”, “Locomotive Ability”, “Balance”, and “Manipulative Ability”. Finally, this study composed the characteristics of adapted physical education. The result of this study indicated that: a. “Fundamental Motor Ability” can be classified into lower extremity exercise, upper extremity exercise, chest exercises, waist exercises and cooling-down exercises. Mr. Liu can use physical guidance to describe the movements to teach students how to use visual learning, repetition exercises, and improve the fundamental motor familiarity through peer tutor system. b. For “Physical Fitness”, the teacher will be able to enhance cardiovascular endurance for blind students through step aerobics, light step and step touch. Mr. Liu can use the rhythm of music for students to feel the speed and to estimate the amount of exercise. c. “Locomotive Ability” can be classified into four activities as jumping, running, bunny hop and three-legged race game. Mr. Liu can create a safe environment, use four methods to teach students to judge the end-point, use physical guidance and tactile modeling to teach bunny hop, run-up action, etc,. d. “Balance” can be classified into horse squat and one leg standing. Mr. Liu can use physical guidance to teach students. e. “Manipulative Ability” can be classified into “identify the ball direction by sound” and “passing a ball up and down”. Mr. Liu can use specific items to help students to establish concept of abstraction. f. To compose the characteristics of adapted physical education in the study. Finally, based on the above results, this study has provided specific recommendations for future substantive work and related references.
