Urumqi, Xinjiang Of Pe Teachers In The Status Quo And Improvement Measures

The Cultivation of the West, historically speaking, provides a very good chance for the development of higher education in Xinjiang. And the factor of teachers is vital to this development. 193 PE teachers from nine colleges and universities in Urumuqi are carefully studied in this thesis. The study involves their general condition, their teaching, their researching, their training of students, their political quality, their pay conditions and their on-the-job training conditions. References, interviews, investigations, questionnaires, observations and statistics are made use of to do this study. Its findings are:l.At present the number of PE teachers can satisfy the need of physical education in the higher institutions in Urumqi. But with the coming of the peak period of enrollment enlargement, this number has to be increased in a carefully planned way.2.Most of the 193 teachers are bachelors and the percentage of masters is only 2.61%. Besides, 74.1% of the teachers are graduates of the local colleges and universities, and the percentage of minority nationality teachers who graduated from local higher institutions is as high as 99%.3. Among the teachers investigated, the rate of professors, instructors and assistant teachers is 1:1.44:0.83. Because of their relatively fewer research papers, much fewer minority nationality teachers have been promoted as professors and vice professors.4.The curriculums used by the higher institutions in Urumqi , to a certain extent, are not suitable, so far as the characters and the practical condition of the region are concerned. So only 54.24% of the teachers investigated carried out parts of the curriculums chosen.5. The teachers investigated can prepare themselves for their teaching according to teaching norms, and 80.39% of them can shoulder the task of teaching PE theories by themselves. Their teaching periods every week vary from six to sixteen hours.6.Their researching situation is: only a few teachers take part in researching work, and their purpose is mainly for job promotions; minority nationality teachers found fewer sources' to publish the research papers, so their job promotions are greatly influenced.T.There have been very few opportunities for PE teachers to go out to have on-the-job training for the recent 10 years. As many as 85.62% of the teachers investigated have never received this kind of training.Besides a detailed and systematic analysis of the above conditions, this thesis offers some constructive measures for solving the problem of improving the quality of PE teachers. Hopefully they will be helpful to the construction of the PE teachers who are suitable for the reform and development of the higher education in Xinjing.
