A Comparative Study On The Curriculum Design Of Physical Education In Five Universities In Guangdong Province Based On The Background Of Teacher Professional Development

Background: With the implementation of the new round of basic education curriculum reform in China,it is evident that China has entered a new stage of curriculum reform and development.The new educational concepts have brought historical challenges and opportunities to the development of physical education majors in the new era.The physical education major is an indispensable part of the higher education system,aiming to cultivate sports talents with good qualities.The curriculum is undoubtedly a key factor affecting the quality of professional talent cultivation,and it is also one of the focuses of scholars’ attention.Therefore,whether starting from the professional development of talent cultivation or the construction of physical education majors,the curriculum reform of physical education majors is urgent.Purpose: In the context of teacher professional development,this article combines the standards and requirements of the "Curriculum Plan" and "National Standard" to conduct an internal analysis of the 2018 version of the curriculum of physical education in five universities in Guangdong province,as well as an external comparison with the 2020 version of the curriculum of physical education at East China Normal University.It explores the advantages and disadvantages of Guangdong universities in terms of training objectives,structure,and content,Provide targeted suggestions for universities in Guangdong region,and provide theoretical guidance for accelerating the further development of physical education curriculum reform in Guangdong universities.Methods: This research adopts the methods of literature review,expert interview,questionnaire survey,comparative study and mathematical statistics.Results:1.According to the 2012 Curriculum Plan of the Ministry of Education,five universities in Guangdong have basically met the requirements and demonstrated local characteristics while adhering to the principle of "wide caliber,thick foundation".Compared to Guangdong universities,the training objectives of East China Normal University are somewhat forward-looking;2.There is no significant difference in the proportion of general education courses offered among the five universities in Guangdong,which is generally higher than the standards in the "Plan" and East China Normal University.At the same time,ideological and political courses are the main courses,supplemented by educational and tool courses;3.In the teacher education curriculum module,there are more theoretical courses among the five universities in Guangdong,while there are relatively few educational training courses.There is a phenomenon of ambiguity in the setting of teacher education modules in some universities.Compared to universities in Guangdong,East China Normal University has offered courses such as interpreting primary and secondary school curriculum standards to help students understand the curriculum standards and understand new teaching trends,which is worth learning from universities in Guangdong.4.Universities in Guangdong region basically meet the standards in terms of the number and types of professional courses,and some universities generally have lower class hours than the requirements of the "Plan" and East China Normal University.In addition,in terms of the timing of professional course offerings,some universities in Guangdong have experienced confusion in the order of subject courses and textbook names;5.In the internship practice phase,universities in Guangdong generally conduct 18 weeks of educational internships and 1-4 weeks of educational internships and studies,which are in line with the standards and regulations.Compared to East China Normal University,Guangdong universities pay more attention to the cultivation of educational practice,but the teaching practice method is relatively single,and the cultivation of students’ innovative awareness and ability is not enough.;6.Through interviews with teachers and student questionnaires from five universities in Guangdong,it was found that there are still some unreasonable aspects in the curriculum design of physical education majors,which urgently need further improvement.For example,the contribution of certain courses to primary and secondary schools is not high,and the practical time is insufficient.Suggestion: Based on multiple factors,universities in Guangdong region should accurately identify the types of training,expand their knowledge fields,and reduce the proportion of courses;Increase the number of elective courses and enrich the course content;At the same time,establish modular educational courses to strengthen professional education for teachers;In addition,reasonable planning and practical education should be carried out,and various forms of practice should be carried out.
