The learning of track and field consists of repetitions of such relatively monotonous motions as running, jumping and throwing. The difference in the physical fitness and motor ability each individual student has comes out straightforwardly in his results of training in class. Therefore, students in general tend to shrink from learning track and field events in class. And teachers have lots of problems to solve. They often say. “Track and field are difficult to teach in class”. “It is very hard to raise the effect of teaching track and fild, ” or “Students are not very willing to learn them.” The following are what I think can be clues to the improvement of track and field classes: 1. The setting, or the creation, of the “scene” is very important to heighten the learners' will to learn Thus game-like, play-like, or grouping practices should be adopted in class. 2. The improvement and elaboration of necessary environments such as facilities and tools is vital. We should reform the rules in conformity with the ability of the learners so that they will get interested in learning track and field. 3. The dramatization by instructors is important. The advice, model performances, or instructions by teachers will impress the learners and thus raise their will to learn. 4. In teaching track and fiefd it is essential to make the best use of properties of individual events, say, by making a clear distinction between the teaching of competitiontype events and that of attainment-type events.
