Research On The Current Situation Of The Sports Associations Of The Four Star High School In Wuxi

As is pointed out in Decision of the CPC Central Committee and State Council on deepening educational reform and promoting quality education in an all-round way,a healthy body is the premise for the youngsters to serve the country and the people,and it is the manifestation of national vitality.School education should be guided by the principle of "health first" and effectively strengthen sports work,so that students can master basic sports skills and develop the good habit of physical exercise.Improving the students' physical health level has become the center of the reform of school sports work in our country.Students' sports clubs,the extension of P.E.class and the important part of extracurricular sports activity,should play an important role in strengthening students' physical and mental health,developing students' ability in management,organization and coordination,and improving students' physical level.Via documentary analysis,interviewing method,questionnaire survey and mathematical statistical method,the present researcher surveyed sports clubs of four-star high schools in Wuxi to make an investigation on their organization form,clubs' projects,activity time,activity contents,staff arrangements,fund guarantee,club management,etc.The major findings are presented as follows: In Wuxi four-star high school,there are a relatively small number of sports clubs and small kinds of club projects.The frequency of activity is low and the time is not long.The sports club runs once or twice a week,with 45 minutes each time.Besides,the research also reveals that the equipment can not satisfy the needs of club activity.Most of the club activities are unvaried and boring,largely targeting on traditional sports,such as basketball,football and volleyball.Sports clubs lack strict rules and fixed activity time.Schools do not pay much attention to the development of sports clubs.The fund mainly depends on schools and students' self-raising.Few profits are made for their own development.What's more,students do not show much enthusiasm for sports activities.They just participate in sports activities to build up their bodies and relieve pressure from study.All of the factors above restrict and hinder the development of sports club in Wuxi high schools.The implications we may derive from the research include 1)School leaders should change traditional educational ideology and attach importance to sports clubs,supporting,guiding and funding the development of sports clubs.The feature projects should be developed and expanded and the number of clubs students interested in should be added in.2)Our schools should relieve the academic stress and extend the time for extracurricular activity,so that students can devote more time and energy to sports clubs.3)Each sports club should establish a sound system of operation,management and monitoring.Also,we should give full play to the subjective initiative of students in order for the democratization,rationalization and institutionalization of daily running of sports clubs.4)During the operation of sports clubs,we should make full use of students resources,parents resources,social resources and part-time teachers resources to improve the overall level of instructors of sports clubs and ensure the efficiency,order and variety of the running of sports clubs.We hope sports clubs can be a platform to help improve students' physical fitness,master lifetime sports skills and adapt to society.
