AB - This study set out to explore ecological teaching procedures to promote the efficient physical activities of children who have visual impairment with other disabilities during physical education classes based on the previous studies on ecology. It also aimed to identify the components and contents of ecological assessments within a classroom environment designed for ecological teaching. It is necessary to apply ecological teaching procedures that take into account the external environmental factors around children with visual impairment as well as the personal factors of children who have visual impairment with other disabilities in order to promote their active participation in PE classes and physical activities. Considerate teaching activities such as these will be able to contribute to the teachers changing their teaching actions, and the changes will in turn encourage children who have visual impairment with other disabilities to take active part in PE classes and more diverse physical activities. That is, a teaching approach from a new perspective called ecological teaching should be applied in order to improve teaching and learning activities and to promote such physical activities as are proper in accordance with the degree of disability and motor skills of children who have visual impairment with other disabilities. Then those children will be able to understand the concepts of movement, establish a right body image, develop interest in physical activities, and have an attitude of taking an active part in PE activities. Those changes will ultimately provide them with the foundation to lead a functionally independent life in their community after completing their school education. There is also a need to develop informal assessment tools using evaluative components following the ecological approach and conduct research to confirm their validity. Such research will produce basic data to promote the efficient physical activity of children who have visual impairment with other disabilities.
