Universities Of Anhui Province Selective Pe Course Survey And Development Strategies

Supported by the basic principles of pedagogy and P.E., a survey on the teaching conditions, teaching effects, and teaching evaluation of elective P.E. courses for undergraduate students in universities of Anhui province has been made by using the methods of documentary, questionnaire, logic analysis, mathematical statistics, and so on. Thus come to the following conclusions:1. Physical Education in universities of Anhui province is carried out through traditional model, two-phase model, elective course model, three-phase model, and parallel model. And there are 10 universities adopted different kinds of elective courses in RE.2. Incapacity of sports arena and equipments is the most decisive factor influencing the teaching effects of elective courses in Physical Education. The teaching staff can basically meet the teaching needs, but is need to be improved both in educational qualification and academic titles.3. Elective courses mainly include football, basketball, volleyball and aerobics, which is lack of new items and the theoretical contents is outdated; Teaching is organized according to the scheduling system of grade-elective course and the theoretical courses is just repeat what the text says, which will have bad impacts on teaching effects directly; Teaching objectives remained as enhancing physical qualities and improving skills, and too much emphasis has been laid on practice, while ignored building a concept of life-long learning; Elective course materials failed to meet the requirements of students and without any marked features of the course itself; Teaching methods are too monotonous to motivate the students to participate in; Few periods, rigid option system and unreasonable P.E. background make the students' election quite unfounded.4. Elective course has won a high recognition from the students, and played a certain role in improving students' sports abilities and skills, but it is insufficient to help the students to develop the habit of physical exercise and training. Investigations on the 10 selected universities found that their graduates' health status and persist in physical training are not satisfactory.5. The evaluation of selective course in universities of Anhui province is now mainly based on the "absolute results" rather than students' attitudes and behaviors, interaction and cooperation spirit, and affective performance, and so on. Meanwhile, some countermeasures based on the above mentioned findings have been proposed as follow: to accelerate the development of selective course teaching and the transition of option system; to increase the momentum of the improvement of sports facilities; to strength the building of a better teaching staff; to lay more emphasis on the development and utilization of resources; to teach facing all students with the method of stratified teaching; to strength the compiling of teaching materials and writing of standardized syllabus; to do more scientific research to diversify teaching objectives; to improve the students' cognitive abilities so as to help them making reasonable choice; to pay more attention to both technical and theoretical education, especially, awareness and social education; to establish a diversified evaluation system.
