The model used in this research is model development (Berman & McLaughlin, 1976; Snyder, Bolin & Zumwalt, 1992). The research method used is interview. Method: This study employed a case study approach to the investigation of eight different schools. Result: Based on the interview, the Mutual Adaptation Model teaching is better used by teachers in schools. The Mutual Adaptation Model has several advantages to be implemented optimally as a teaching model in Physical Educacion subject. There are several things from the Mutual Adaptation Model that need to be further developed, that is, the concept of teaching corresponds to the students' ability, curriculum, infrastructural, the state of the environment and improve learning students outcomes. Teachers to be more creative in teaching and so students can do this activity well, effective, efficient and fun. Conclusion: This Mutual Adaptation Model can provide an appropriate teaching model to be used so that the objectives of Physical Education can be achieved. Keywords: mutual adaptation model, teaching, physical education (PE), junior high school Introduction Movement is one of the fundamental needs for students, with the movement that they express what is in his mind, including his emotions, or anything he wants. Movement becomes very instrumental to students that can interact with people who are around him, ranging from his parents, his brother, and especially with his peers. When interacting with peers, they usually actualize themselves in the form of games that they make their own rules, from group games to individual games. Unwittingly and indirectly they have learned, especially learning the motion itself. Students in junior high school dominate their daily activities in the form of activities that they play themselves until the activities are deliberately adapted in this case is the teacher. In the preparation of these teaching activities, teachers usually use a reference in the form of a curriculum that has been prepared. In the acculturation of teaching in junior high school is usually the form of activities undertaken still packed in the forms of the game, the power of thought and movement skills. Teaching plans that have been composed is to be a teaching material for teachers or accompanying students at school. One of them is PE, however, based on interviews that have been done on some PE teachers in junior high school, it is said that teaching in school has very distinctive characteristics so that the teacher must really know what is in the student's self. In PE teaching, a lot of complaints found by teachers, especially when students do not want or do not actively follow the activities that have been determined. Reactions displayed by the students include; the reason for fear, silence, separation from the group, and some of them doing their own activities according to what they like. Faced with such circumstances, what teachers do should be able to accommodate what all students require without exception. Teachers should try to develop an interesting learning model that can inspire students to follow the learning activities. One of the models that teachers need to do is the Mutual Adaptation Model, the model is expected to accommodate the diverse needs of students in schools. a. Mutual adaptation model as a teaching model Mutual Adaptation Model is a model of teaching for teachers in schools whose development is based on the theory of conformity of students and school environment. This model was first created by a researcher from the United States that is (Berman & McLaughlin, 1976) [5] . This model is implemented in general in America. The characteristic of this model is to emphasize the activities raised by the students themselves and emphasize the modification of students' learning according environments at the level of their development and the role of physical activity in absorbing learning concepts and according to their abilities. Then it is also explained that the Philosophy of the Mutual Adaptation Model is to build the idea that the development and mindset of students differ from adults because they are not adults. Mutual Adaptation Model states that there should be equal rights of students, so students will learn to develop themselves into adults, but still with guidance from teachers. According to Berman & McLaughlin (1976) [5] , who presented for the first time an overall view through his research that discussed that Mutual Adaptation Model is better used in schools in planning lessons such as their skills, knowledge and attitudes. In all dimensions, teachers in schools using the
