This study aimed to clarify elementary school teachers' attitudes toward teaching and evaluating movements involving equipment manipulation in "exercises that create diverse movements." The participants were 212 teachers working at public elementary schools in Saitama Prefecture, and the survey focused on the perceived difficulty of teaching and evaluating individual movements using hoops, balls, and ropes. The results indicated that teachers generally felt capable of teaching and evaluating movements; however, movements involving hoops and complex actions were perceived as relatively difficult. In addition, teachers tended to evaluate movement performance based on their own experience. These findings suggest the importance of providing teachers with guidance on instructional strategies and evaluation methods for specific movements. In particular, further research is needed on classroom practices related to hoop-based and complex movements.
