Application of the Concept of "Constructivism" in the Teaching of Physical Education Theory Taking the Theoretical Course of Leisure Sports Major as an Example

The teaching of theoretical courses of physical education lags behind the technical course, which is the prevailing situation of the physical education major. It is mainly reflected in the lack of learning interest and poor academic performance of students. Through the literature method, classroom observation method and case study method, this paper proposes to change the role of teachers and students under the constructivism teaching concept, with the student as teaching subject and to encourage students to build knowledge through independent thinking and group discussion, which is an active attempt at improving the teaching effect of the theoretical course of physical education.
