At the invitation of Xinhua News Agency reporter, the sports teaching and research staff of Liwan district Education Development Research Institute of Guangzhou city, Che Chun sent a letter to the reporter to discuss the current situation of school sports.
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 28th, at the invitation of Xinhua News Agency reporter, Jiao Chun, a physical education researcher of Liwan district Education Development Research Institute, Guangzhou city, wrote to the reporter to discuss the current situation of school physical education. His perennial first-line practice and painstaking observation gathered the writing end and turned it into sincere words, which was thought-provoking.
The following is the content of the letter :
according to the 2015 report on nutrition and chronic diseases of Chinese residents issued by the State Council, the overweight rate, obesity rate, overweight rate of children and adolescents aged 6-17 in China, the obesity rate has increased significantly, and the detection rate of poor eyesight of primary and secondary school students is still high, showing a tendency of younger age. The endurance, speed, explosive force and strength quality of college students continue to decline, which has become the bottleneck restricting the improvement of national physical quality.
From the perspective of physical education which is closely related to the physical health of teenagers, a student has been in physical education for many years from primary school, middle school to university. Finally, he really mastered a sports skill, understood basic sports knowledge, few children develop sports habits through physical education, and talking about life-long sports is no different from talking on paper.
In recent years, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, the Ministry of Education, the State General Administration of Sports, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and so on have issued several documents, requiring all regions to attach importance to school sports work, taking improving students’ physical health level as an important goal of school work, many measures have also been introduced in succession, requiring schools to guarantee full physical education and one hour of physical activity time for students every day. As a result, the results are minimal.
Why is this the result? Why? As a school sports worker who has been engaged in basic education for a long time, I will talk about my personal views.
First of all, from the perspective of parents, the author thinks that the parents of Chinese students may be the hardest and most tangled parents in the world. With the continuous enhancement of China’s economic strength, the living standard of the common people has gradually improved, and the education and health of the next generation are generally attached great importance to. “hope for a child to become a dragon, and Wang women to become a Phoenix” is the goal of many parents. However, at present, many parents have set their children’s training goals as “entering a good university”. Although the admission rate of universities in our country is increasing year by year, they have to enter 985 and 211 schools, it is still “over single-plank bridge troops”. However, parents who have some conditions have to use their children’s spare time to arrange various cram schools in the face of this strong pressure of entering a higher school, it is to enable their children to “take more questions, get a good score, and record a good school” when taking exams “. In fact, many parents have attached great importance to their children’s comprehensive qualities other than their cultural achievements. However, once the critical period of study is reached, parents are faced with how to choose and choose due to the pressure of entering a school through exams, whether to continue to follow the direction of “quality education” or yield to the baton of “examination-oriented education”, a considerable number of parents have to choose the latter.
Take the author as an example. As a sports worker, I know very well the importance of physical exercise to children, but I have to compromise in front of the examination pressure of “Junior High School, when the child was in the third grade, he reduced the physical exercise training that was originally one hour a day, six days a week to two days a week, and at the same time increased the mathematical olympiad class of” learning and thinking, it is to strive to improve the “competitiveness” of children during exams, and to be able to test a good school in the future.
Secondly, students’ physical health is worrying, and all aspects of society should also be helped. First, there are few places that can really provide children’s activities in the residential community of the city. Most of them are equipped according to the minimum standards, and the facilities and equipment are difficult to meet the needs of children’s sports, lack of professional supervision and guidance; Rural areas are more worrying about the allocation of facilities and equipment in sports fields. However, in this respect, the Education Department is powerless, the sports department is not very powerful, and the supervision measures are useless. Second, the society focuses on some negative events, such as sports injuries, which also bring a lot of troubles to the school.
The author found a phenomenon that after the college entrance examination results come out every year, the directors and principals will send “happy news” for the first time to publicize the college entrance examination indicators of the region and the school to a new high for different objects. If one day, after the National Student Physical Health Standard test data statistics are released, directors and principals can also send “happy news”, perhaps the problem of students’ physical health is not a problem.
As the school physical education teacher who shoulders the cradle of cultivating socialist builders and successors, he should be “the most wronged person”.
The Society criticizes schools for “emphasizing intellectual development and light Sports”. Anyone who can think about it can think of why? Because of the “baton” and the “tight spell” of assessment criteria, under multiple pressures, the principal, as a school administrator, can play a very small space. Objectively speaking, being able to serve as a principal should be all excellent teachers who love students and have certain educational thoughts. We should not require all principals to put sports work in a “strategic position of priority”, the author has contacted many principals, and no principal does not think that sports is very important and students’ physical health is very important. However, under the framework of the current education evaluation system, there are not many principals who really dare to attach importance to school sports.
The PE teacher is a guide who leads children into the playground and falls in love with sports. In recent years, the “three no seven no” type (refers to “no strength, no difficulty, no confrontation, no sweating, no dirty clothes, no breathing, no wrestling, no skin wiping, no sprains, gentle physical education classes without long distance running can be seen everywhere. As everyone knows, the profession of physical education teacher has become a “high-risk profession” at present. Physical education is carried out in a completely open space, even if it is a strong organization and management ability, it is impossible to ensure that 100% of all students practice according to the teacher’s requirements, but as long as there are any injury accidents among students in class, the PE teacher must bear the responsibility. At present, there is no practical regulatory document for campus injury accidents in our country, which can prevent PE teachers from taking responsibility without mistakes in teaching and management.
In addition, in recent years, the author has often heard that physical education teachers have been complained. This kind of complaint is not because of corporal punishment of students, but because physical education teachers have a relatively large amount of exercise in class and their muscles are sore, it is required to reduce the amount of exercise. In fact, after understanding, these classroom exercise load arrangements basically meet the relevant provisions of “curriculum standards”, which may be regarded as “the strange phenomenon of Chinese school physical education.”
Conclusion: The author believes that the most important thing to solve the persistent problem of physical health of Chinese teenagers is that the government can make reasonable use of the “baton” of examination, assessment and evaluation “. Under this premise, it is of practical significance to talk about how schools act and how parents cooperate. At the same time, we should effectively decompress the physical education teachers, at least to ensure that the physical education teachers are free from responsibility under the premise of no fault, so that the teachers can be supported by the correct “physical education conscience, try to make every physical education class good and try to make every child get exercise and improvement.
