Reflection on Public Physical Education in Chinese Colleges and Universities
the implementation of quality education reflects the party and the country pay highly attention to promote young people’s physical and mental health. This idea provides a solid theoretical basis for the reform of college physical education. University physical education links up with society, and it is the transfer station of family sports and community sports, which put forward even higher requirements to the public physical education in colleges and universities. The modern physical education course in colleges and universities must adapt to the needs of social development and students’ individual development needs through constantly reform and update.
New types of education-premises for formation of physical education and sports teachers
Social and educational status of physical education teacher, under today’s society under the pressure of globalization, environmental hazard, increased leisure time and spending requirements, etc. is becoming more complex. This requires the teacher to review the basic principles of educational approach in terms of formative nature and act accordingly. Multitude of educational principles, methods, means and forms of assessment are essentially confined to three parts the legislative, the reference to the subject and aimed at the subjective side. The first one goes to the educational goals, the second concerns the scope and means of achieving the levels, especially their classification methods and practices, while the subjective view involves quantitative and qualitative accumulation of the process and development of human personality. In view of the Council of Europe, Homo Europeaus’ general education is the product compatible with the challenges of the twenty-first century the century, whose curriculum should provide the necessary: language skills, foreign languages, basic knowledge of mathematics and related sciences, foundation technology size seen in European history, European geography, civic education from the perspective of European democracy, promoting creativity, physical education and health knowledge of religious moral values. Key-Words: premises, formation, education, democracy, Olympics, health, free time, teacher.
Cognitive Correlaretes of Physics Achievement of Some Nigeria Senior Secondary Students
Some cognitive correlates of physics achievement of some Nigeria senior secondary students were considered in the study. Specifically, the study examined the relationship between measures of student’s field independency. Cognitive tasks, formal reasoning and their achievement in physics. Purposive and stratified random sampling techniques were employed to obtain a sample of 524 senior secondary two students from six education zones in Kogi State of Nigeria. Three instruments were used. They are science Reasoning Tasks (SRTs). Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) and Physics Achievement Test (PAT). Data analysis using multiple regressions reveals that measures of students’ fields’ independency and cognitive tasks predicted student’s achievement in physics generally. However, only measure of field independency predicted students’ achievement in physics in the higher order cognitive demand questions. Measures of formal reasoning had no significant relationship with students’ achievements in physics generally or in higher order cognitive demand questions in physics. However, the overall relationships between measures of field independency, cognitive tasks, formal reasoning and students’ achievement in physics generally and in higher order cognitive demand questions in physics were both significant. Educational implications of these findings were discussed.
