A232: The Voice-Inclusive Physical Education Class: Primary School Physical Education Teaching Mode Under New Curriculum Standards

Current physical education classes in primary schools face a lot of challenges, such as the low student participation, a dull class environment, and a lack of students’ voice, which has a negative impact on teaching effect and students’ physical and mental health. This study employed the action research method to organize the physical education classes in primary school based on the New Curriculum Standards. The study encouraged primary school students to actively express their understanding and feelings about physical education activities and guided them to enthusiastically participate in the design of teaching content and activities to construct the “voice-inclusive” physical education classes. And it also elaborated the connotation and meaning of the “voice-inclusive” physical education classes. Additionally, the study proposed solutions to solving the practical teaching problems for primary school physical education teachers by means of updating teaching philosophies, optimizing teaching contents, rebuilding teaching assessment systems, and dealing with students’ individual differences. The results of this study demonstrated that the “voice-inclusive” physical education classes abandon the traditional teacher-dominated teaching mode that overlooks the students’ individual differences and put greater emphasis on the student-centered teaching mode. Such “voice-inclusive” physical education classes can effectively stimulate students’ desire to voice, enhance their participation in activities, foster a positive and dynamic class environment, and promote students’ development of physical and mental health. These results can also provide valuable insights for improving the teaching quality of primary school physical education and advancing primary school students’ healthy growth.
