After a long period of theoretical and practical exploration, the physical education program has formed a unique talent training mode.
★Composite training mode
Deeply integrating with Ningbo University's Institute of Great Health, and jointly researching and formulating new professional training programs and teaching plans. We add modules of courses related to teachers' core qualities, modules of courses related to the integration of sports, medicine and health, such as health management, and modules of courses related to scientific exercise and sports prescription; adjust the ratio of disciplines to academic courses, and the credits of compulsory courses to elective courses, highlighting the cultivation of innovative consciousness and ability, and cultivate students' core qualities and abilities through apprenticeship and joint institutions, so as to cultivate composite professionals in physical education and health.
★Professionalized Teaching Mode
In accordance with the basic idea of “taking vocationalization and specialization as the value orientation”, we have constructed “one idea” (professional ideal), “two specialties” (technical expertise, teaching experts), “three specialties” (professionalism) and “three specialties” (professionalism), The teaching mode of “three” (certificate, lifelong, and high education) and “four” (study, do, example, and evaluation).
★Multi-effective team learning
In classroom teaching, we focus on inquiry-based teaching, design classroom teaching based on students' learning styles, allow students to participate in teaching reforms, and cultivate students' independent learning ability; we set up extracurricular cooperative learning teams with excellent professional tutors and subject tutors to guide students in the practice of “exploring, doing, exemplifying, and evaluating secondary schools”.
★Perfect Nurturing Mechanism
We have implemented the cultivation model of “socialized whole-person cultivation”. “One solution” (emancipate the mind, expand the ideas, establish the concept of open school, turn limited resources into unlimited possibilities, and extend the limited resources of NINGU to the unlimited resources of the society); ‘two oriented’ (in the cultivation pathway, it is oriented to both off-campus and on-campus; in the cultivation goal, it is oriented to both the creation of new talents and the development of new talents). (in terms of cultivation goals, it is oriented to both performance creation and employment); “three combinations” (combination of school-enterprise, school-society, and school-political combination); “four wholes” (whole-society cultivation, whole-member cultivation, whole-process cultivation, and all-around cultivation).
★Diversified Practice Teaching
The “four-year practice system project” is implemented to build an in-class internship + extracurricular sunshine sports club practice platform to increase on-campus internship opportunities for first- and second-grade students; to build an off-campus tiered internship base to provide third- and fourth-grade students with a “go out, come in” social interaction platform, so as to build an on- and off-campus social interaction platform. We will build an interactive platform for third and fourth graders to “go out and come in”, so as to build an interactive network system for education and practice both inside and outside the school, and to enhance the ability of graduates to adapt to the needs of society.
