INFILTRATION MODEL OF MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION IN COLLEGE PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Mental health, essential to modern education, is a necessary condition for the healthy growth of college students. Many colleges have attempted to combine mental health education with physical education, with the aim to improve the effectiveness of physical education. This paper designs an infiltration model of mental health education in college physical education. The model covers three stages, namely, interaction, classification and evaluation. Next, the model was applied to the physical education of students randomly selected from four colleges. The teaching effect was evaluated by three indices: students’ acceptance, the influencing factors of the classroom, and those of mental health. The results show that 72% of the subjects had a high recognition of the infiltration model; 70% of the subjects were concerned the most about teaching style and the fun of teaching; the mental health of all subjects was improved to different degrees through the physical education by our model. The research results provide an important guide for integrating mental health in physical education and promoting sports activities among college students. the follow-up
