Analysis Of The Current Situation Of Extracurricular Athletics In Key Boarding High School

The management of boarding school is a new management model in high schools. Such school is no longer a school model based on its function, but a symbol of high quality education. The special features of this management lie in the fact that the students live on campus, acquiring a strong sense of time and discipline. The students have a heavy study burden, aiming at being admitted to key universities and colleges after taking the National College Entrance Examination. On the other side, most students don't pay enough attention to the athletics and are not physically well-being. This analysis aims at arousing students'awareness of taking an active part in sports exercises, helping carry out the Sports and Health Curriculum, and providing reference for the sustainable development of extracurricular athletics in key boarding high schools in Shanghai.My research applies such methods as literature review, questionnaire, mathematical statistics, collate, and interview, with the subject of 600 students in Yan'an High School. Close observation has been taken of the physical training class, after school physical exercise, and students' satisfaction. The survey shows that most students have a high degree of awareness of taking part in the extracurricular athletics. Still we are faced with some problems as follows:most students are not properly motivated and don't spend enough time on the physical exercise; there is a lack of activities fit for girl students; the promotion, organization and supervision of the extracurricular athletics as well as school facilities are far from satisfactory.In an attempt to find some solutions to these problems mentioned above, we put forward some constructive suggestions, aiming at improving the current situation of the carrying out of the extracurricular athletics in boarding schools. Educational and administrative departments should raise their awareness of the importance of students'mental and physical development, enforce the propaganda and mobilization and implementation, improve the development of a variety of sports activities and make good use of all kinds of resources. In addition, measures must be taken to increase teachers' enthusiasm and set up Incentives and management systems. Therefore, the health level of average students will be raised and the reform in school physical education will be furthered.
