Status Quo And Countermeasures Of Extracurricular Physical Education Activities Of Students In Higher Education Institutions In Zhengzhou

Our party and the government have attached great importance on physical education in universities, and formulated explicit requests about extracurricular physical education activities for universities students. However, the health condition tests in recent years showed no optimistic results in students body-building effectiveness, and drew our great concern.In this study ,I used a variety of research methods including literature research, surveying, statistical and interviewing, with 1200 students choosing from several higher education institutions including Zhengzhou University, Henan Agricultural University, Henan University of Finance and Economics, Henan Institute of Engineering, Zhengzhou University of Light Industry and Henan College of Finance and Taxation. I focus on the status quo of extracurricular physical education activities of students in higher education institutions in Zhengzhou and produce opinions and suggestions accordingly. I hope to bring up the attention of educational and sports authorities on this issue, to provide reference to physical departments and educators, and to contribute within my ability to the development of extracurricular physical education activities of students in higher education institutions in Zhengzhou. The result of the study indicates that the higher education institutions in Zhengzhou generally attached importance to extracurricular physical education activities of students. They well-followed the requests by the authorities, have done a lot of related work. The participation rate of the activities are adequate, the general status of extracurricular physical education activities is all right. However the status quo of the activities is still a gap away from the students'satisfaction, for example the organization and supervision is a little bit random and casual, and in many perspectives there is room for improvement and betterment. Therefore there are still a lot of work to be done by the authorities, the institutions, the PE department and the educators, which we hope everyone could realize.It is a huge, complex and systematical project to successfully carry out physical education activities of students in higher education institutions. It requires the widely participation and effort from educational and sports authorities, higher education institutions, PE departments, teachers and educators, students and their guardians as well as the public. The educational and sports authorities should enhance the management and instructions to the institutions, building an evaluation system for the physical education and make it a necessary part in the institutions'all around evaluation process. Also they should take measures to guide the institutions and students to take part in all kinds of sports meets and exercises. At the same time they should offer a variety of rewards to those outstanding institutions, and regulate all the institutions with financing and class time issues and make sure the physical education activities are on schedule and properly carried out. The institutions should re-consider the important position of physical education activities in higher education, and put thinking to practice. They should increase the financing in sports facilities and equipments, effectively organize, administer and guide the extracurricular physical education activities, and make the physical education meet the students'needs and benefit every students.
