The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences and changes of the four consultees (2 males and 2 females) in a consulting program for physical education teacher development. Data were collected through in-depth interview, participant observation, and document analysis from April of 2008 through December of 2008. The collected data were analyzed by the approach of the grounded theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1998). The main phenomenon was 'increasing pedagogical content knowledge' and the causal condition was 'motivation to participation'. Intervention condition was 'consulting effectiveness' and 'individual traits'; contextual condition was 'facilitating factors' and 'inhibiting factors'; and action/interaction strategy was 'efforts of consultants' and 'consultees' efforts to improve teaching'. The consequences was 'the changes in teaching perspectives' of the consultees. Some noticeable changes of the four consultees were observed in the areas of “warming up activities”, “getting started”, “establishing the protocols," ”using motor cues," “intratask variation", “teaching by invitation”, “understanding effective teaching” and “understanding Teaching Games for Understanding.”
