The traditional approach in teacher education has based on the functional and behaviorist viewpoint. But recently physical education scholars have tried to overcome the existing teacher education program, considering on the teacher thought. Reflective thinking is a alternative to solve out the problem of the existing teacher education program. The studies regard of reflective thinking have focused on mainly in-service teachers so that make them improving their teaching and developing their expertises which is necessary to them as a teacher. But the research interest of pre-service teachers' reflective thinking has been less considered than in-service teachers'. Thus this study aimed to analyze the pre-service teachers' reflective teaching about elementary school physical education. For achieving the study purpose, a qualitative case study is conducted. Data were collected by interview and documents, and analyzed according to van Manen(1977)'s framework of reflective thinking. As a result, elementary school pre-service teachers' reflective thinking of physical education are presented in three styles: technical reflection, professional reflection, and critical reflection.
