The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of children's participation in challenging activities of the revised 7th national P.E. curriculum on their confidence and intrinsic motivation. The subjects in this study were 110 sixth-grade children in N elementary school located in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon. An experimental group and a control group were organized with 57 and 53 respectively. After questionnaire items were developed, the validity and reliability of the items were verified, and they filled out the questionnaires that covered their background variables, confidence and intrinsic motivation. The findings of the study were as follows: First, as a result of comparing the confidence and intrinsic motivation of the students by gender, no intergroup gaps were found in confidence, and the boys were ahead of the girls in terms of intrinsic motivation. Second, as a result of comparing their confidence and intrinsic motivation by health status, the children who found themselves to be in good health excelled those who found themselves to be in a moderate state of health or unhealthy in the two regards. Third, as a result of comparing their confidence and intrinsic motivation by subjective motor skills, the children who were good at exercise were more confident and had a better intrinsic motivation, and those who were poor at exercise lagged behind in the two aspects. Fourth, as a result of comparing their confidence and intrinsic motivation by whether to participate in the challenging activities, participation in the challenging activities had no impact on confidence, but that affected intrinsic motivation in a positive manner. Fifth, as a result of comparing their confidence and intrinsic motivation by the frequency of participation in the challenging activities, the children who attempted to attain the targets three or four times and five or more times surpassed those who did that once or twice in the two regards. Sixth, as a result of comparing their confidence and intrinsic motivation by the intensity of participation in the challenging activities, the children who sweat a lot participating in the challenging activities got better confident than those who sweat a little participating in the activities and who stopped doing that before they sweat. In terms of intrinsic motivation, the children who sweat a lot doing the challenging activities had the best intrinsic motivation, and those who sweat a little doing that fell behind the most in that aspect. The findings of the study suggested that the children's confidence got better when they were in good health, when they had superb motor skills and when they participated in the challenging activities more frequently and more intensively. In regard to intrinsic motivation, better intrinsic motivation was found among those who were boys, who were in good health, who had excellent motor skills and who did the challenging activities more often and more intensively. Besides, participation in the challenging activities didn't affect confidence but had a positive impact on intrinsic motivation.
