It also investigated whether there were differences in the study sample responses attributed to some independent variables. The descriptive method based on survey was applied on a sample of 105 male and female teachers. The questionnaire was also used as a study instrument. It consisted of six areas, including finding students' needs, achieving educational outcomes, learning skill or kinesthetic, solving problem, varying methods of repetition, and strategies of evaluation. The results showed that the extent of the use of physical education teachers of the kinesthetic sense method in the physical education classes for students of the elementary schools was moderate. There were also no differences in the responses of the study sample due to the variables of gender and experience.
