How should physical education classes be conducted?
Having “Nezha” and “Sun Wukong” as teachers demonstrating standard movements, real-time monitoring of each student’s exercise data, and students being able to ask DeepSeek questions to solve problems… Recently, a physical education class that changes the traditional teaching model was showcased at the Zhejiang Master Teacher Training Class, causing a “shock” in the physical education community. “I’ve never seen a physical education class like this before”; “Physical education is not just about physical fitness and movements, but also about cultivating self-learning and teamwork skills”… According to physical education teachers in Hangzhou, physical education classes are “far more than just sweating”.
Civilize the spirit, strengthen the body. Health is the “1”, and everything else is the subsequent “0”. For young students, this statement holds profound significance. Without a healthy body and a positive mindset, even excellent academic performance is like a castle in the air, lacking a solid foundation. It is worth mentioning that a good physical education class should not be boring, and the process should not be tedious. Just as delicate flowers cannot bloom in the desert, and towering trees cannot grow on a stone slab, it is essential to develop specialized courses that are suitable for local conditions, enrich content, and broaden fields to better supplement the nutrients for “conducting good physical education classes”. The introduction of AI virtual teachers “Nezha” and “Sun Wukong” in physical education classes is a beneficial attempt.
Over a hundred years ago, Peking University President Cai Yuanpei proposed that “complete personality begins with physical education”. Physical education is not merely a means to strengthen the body; it is also an important way to promote mental health. In recent years, the mental health issues of young people have become increasingly prominent. Actively enriching the content of physical activities and leveraging sports to strengthen both body and mind is of great significance.
In fact, good physical education is like sunshine and rain, strengthening the body while nourishing the soul, and it is also a process of shaping students’ spirit, character, and even values. The designer of this “explosive reform” physical education course at the Zhejiang Master Teacher Training Class stated that such a classroom tests students’ thinking abilities and self-learning capabilities. It is evident that physical education is a grand stage, building a bridge between sports and education, and assisting young people in completing the long-distance run of growth requires more such innovations. It necessitates the joint efforts of schools, families, and society, working pragmatically to transform more “other people’s physical education classes” into “our physical education classes”, allowing the value of sports to truly empower the growth of every child.
From a broader perspective, the physical and mental quality of young people is related to the important issue of what kind of talents we cultivate for the future of the country and the nation. Sports should not be a temporary need but should become a lifelong compulsory course. It is time for physical education classes to truly take center stage, and may more young people draw strength from sports, strive hard, and fight tenaciously to achieve a more brilliant life.
