The Shenzhen Municipal Education Bureau recently issued a notice requiring that from January 1, 2024, schools in the compulsory education stage will open one physical education class per day. Previously, the Ministry of Education also replied to the "Proposal on Changing Physical Education from a Minor Subject to a Major Subject" of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress: "There is no distinction between primary and secondary subjects in the National Curriculum Plan. ”
How much is one physical education class a day?"There's a ** question about this!You might as well take a look at the current primary and secondary school schedules, "In most areas, the physical education class time in the compulsory education stage is primary school.
4 physical education classes per week for the first and second grades, and 3 physical education classes per week from the third grade to the third year of junior high school". Even if there are only a few class hours available, some places will still be crowded out from time to time, and they cannot be fully guaranteed.
Needless to say, the importance of physical education for the healthy growth of primary and secondary school students is to exercise a healthy body, promote brain development, body balance, and cultivate a sense of competition. Under this "double reduction", sports is of great significance, not only to promote sports with "double reduction", but also to leverage the "double reduction" with sports, so that children can play well from an early age, in order to start again for a long time. In fact, long before Shenzhen, Hangzhou's Binjiang District piloted "one physical education class a day" in September 2020 - in addition to physical education classes, the school also set up 42 types of physical education clubs, striving to let every student learn at least two sports skills in primary school. In the 2022 physical health sampling test of primary and secondary school students in Hangzhou, the two grades participated in Binjiang District ranked among the top two in the city, and good results were achieved in both classroom practice and physical fitness monitoring.
As the Ministry of Education replied above, "there is no distinction between primary and secondary school courses," which can be divided into two interpretations: the amount of physical education class time is one thing, and how to ensure quality and quantity and promote implementation is another. How to do physical education class well?A good way is to adapt measures to local conditions and promote one school, one product, and one school and one policy. Physical education class should not always be satisfied with running, long jump, rope skipping and other "old three", basketball, football, swimming, chess, etc. Club classes should be fully active, good seedlings should be cultivated, and they should be done a good job of passing on and helping to make the campus sports atmosphere full. Benchmarking the practices of Shenzhen and other places, it is necessary for all localities to ask themselves, from teachers to hardware conditions, have they kept up?In particular, it is necessary to establish the belief that "if there are conditions, we must go up, and if there are no conditions, we must create conditions." In recent years, in some large-scale sports events for primary and secondary school students in China, some little-known and even remote rural primary and secondary school teams often win gold and silver, which is inseparable from the school's daily emphasis on sports.
Back to the previous article. To affirm Shenzhen's practice and emphasize people's subjective initiative, we should also guard against formalism in physical education classes, and even turn it into examination-oriented physical education -- emphasizing "trying" rather than "practicing," or even replacing "practice" with "trying."On weekdays, "knives and guns are put into storage, and horses are put in Nanshan", and a few assaults before the exam are only to meet the test standards, etc., this kind of phenomenon is not uncommon in the past. All in all, to make children fall in love with sports, it is more important to look at the effect and quality, and always achieve steady and steady progress, so that sports awareness can run through it and let the sportsmanship be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
