N2  - The purpose of this study was to investigate preservice physical education (PE) teachers’ perspectives about “Adapted Physical Education” (APE) course and to improve the quality of this practical course. This research was framed by Contact Theory (Allport, 1954) and included 84 pre-service PE teachers who attended the practice session of the APE course during the Fall 2009 and Fall 2010 semesters. Data was collected with an open-ended questionnaire including 8 questions in it. Open-ended questionnaire developed by the researchers and content analysis method was used to analyze the transcriptions. As a result of this research three themes which are “Contact”, “Transforming with contact” and “ “Restrictives of transforming” were obtained. Although most of the undergraduate students encountered children with disabilities first time and the APE course was limited only by three hours a week, one semester, within the context of the “Transforming contact” came out remarkably positive changes. Findings suggest that planning and determining fundemantal principles of APE practices considering “restrictive transforming” may provide improvement of the teaching quality.
