Value Orientation of School Physical Education Reform From the Perspective of Life Outlook

Abstract

This paper uses the methods of literature and logic analysis to exemplify on the necessity to speed up construction of China into a country strong in physical education and reestablish a development orientation for school physical education in the new era. It puts forward the inevitability to develop school physical education in China based on the orientation of life education by following the trend of the times to recover the nature of education and the essence of physical education. With life education as the orientation, the paper believes it a serious theoretical issue as well as a common practice issue to reinterpret the nature of physical education, resummarize the functions of physical education, reevaluate and reelucidate the value and significance of physical education, reconsider the reform on school physical education, provide new content system and method system for development of school physical education in the new era, and rectify the one-sided understanding on the nature, functions, and roles of physical education, and thus changing the misleading outlook of traditional physical education which is indifferent to and trampling on life.
