The objectives of this study is to clarify the understanding of elementary school teachers about the 7th physical education curriculum(character, goal, content, evaluation, method). To achieve the purpose, we surveyed with questionnaire that requires personal opinions to the questions and interviewed 6 teachers of two schools in Dae-Gu city. And we collected the concerned literatures. The appropriateness and reliability of the study were examined by multi-angle approach, specialist meeting and review of participants. Results are as follows. First, teachers had a tendency to interpret the character that we proposed in the 7th physical education curriculum according to their own way of thought rather than to understand it with total information of the study. Second, teachers tended to set the goals of curriculum according to their values and actual conditions. Third, teachers are shown that they try to select the contents of the curriculum that were proposed in the 7th physical education curriculum, but they also care about the students’ preference and the actual conditions of their schools. About evaluation, the methods proposed in the 7th physical education curriculum were not taken actions by many reasons. Instead, the methods that were used previously were still used. Forth teachers are shown that they try to come up with various methods to interest the students to achieve the goals that the 7th physical education curriculum propose. But they seemed to have difficulties because of the actual barriers and the teachers’ their own limits.
