The purpose of this study was to define causal relationship between teachers' autonomy support, motivational climate, athletic values, self-determined motivation and satisfaction of physical education class of elementary school children. The subjects were 1,098(boys:526, girls:572) elementary school children from G city and C province. The Scales were used teachers' autonomy support and perceived relatedness scale which was made by Goodenow(1993b), motivational climate scale and athletic values which was made by cox & Williams (2008), Self-determined motivational scale which was made by Ryan & Deci(2000) and satisfaction of physical education class mane by Lee(1992) and Park(2004). The results were as follows : 1. In analysis of correlation, there were significant correlation between teachers' autonomy support, learning climate, athletic values, perceived competence, autonomy, relatedness, and satisfaction of physical education class of children. But there weren't correlated between autonomy and learning climate, and relatedness. 2. The model which was made of exogenous variables(teachers' autonomy support, learning climate and athletic values) and endogenous variables(perceived competence, autonomy, relatedness, and satisfaction physical education class of children) could be used, because it tested in analysis of structural equation(χ2 = 132.122, Q = 1.970, GFI =.943, RMSEA = .009, NFI = .917, CFI =.948). 3. The paths from exogenous to endogenous variables(Teachers' autonomy support → competence, Relatedness, → satisfaction of physical education class, learning climate → competence, relatedness, satisfaction of physical education class, athletic values → competence, relatedness, satisfaction of physical education class) were significant and paths from endogenous to endogenous variables(Competence → satisfaction of physical education, Autonomy → satisfaction of physical education, Relatedness → satisfaction of physical education) were significant. Teachers' autonomy support showed partial mediator variable between motivation and satisfaction of physical education class and athletic values and motivation showed mediator variables between them.
