  ABSTRACT: This study examined the teacher behavior of trainee teachers in physical education classes to investigate the development of practical instruction skills at the teacher training stage. The results showed that trainee teachers largely provided corrective feedback, about 70% of which was specific. However, about 90% of their positive feedback was general. Furthermore, a comparison of the teacher behavior of junior high school and high school trainees revealed significant differences regarding monitoring, questioning, accepting, and the provision of corrective and specific feedback. Moreover, a comparison of trainees and teachers highlighted significant differences in direct instruction and interaction. Future tasks for physical education teacher training include deepening presentation and conveying an understanding as well as the informational content of teaching materials.
