Internship Effect Prediction for Physical Education Majors Based on Artificial Neural Network

Professional internship offers college students a golden chance to apply their theoretical knowledge to practice. Through internship, physical education (PE) majors can match the professional knowledge and skills learned at school with the competencies required by actual jobs. The relevant studies at home and abroad mainly attempt to improve the internship effect. This paper explores the influence of the diversity of job competencies on the internship effect of PE majors, and establishes a prediction model based on artificial neural network (ANN). Firstly, an evaluation index system (EIS) was constructed for the internship quality of PE majors, and a table was prepared for four types of internship jobs for PE majors, as well as their core competences. Then, the sample data for quality evaluation of PE majors’ internship were preprocessed and subjected to feature extraction, in the light of their sequential property. After that, a prediction model was proposed for the internship quality of PE majors, along with its optimization algorithm. The proposed model was proved effective through experiments.

Research on Effective Teaching Strategies of Basketball General Course for Physical Education Majors in Colleges and Universities in China

Through the methods of literature review, expert interview and field investigation, this paper analyzes the effective teaching and promotion strategies of basketball general course for physical education major in Colleges and universities in China. It is believed that the main problems in the effective teaching of basketball general course of physical education major in China are cognitive bias in effective teaching, ignoring the effectiveness of teaching process, and dissimilation of effective teaching orientation In the problem, this paper puts forward the specific strategies to improve the effective teaching of general basketball course of physical education major in Colleges and universities, that is to correctly understand the effective teaching, pay attention to the effective teaching process, and establish the effective teaching goal orientation, so as to provide enlightenment for peer researchers to explore effective teaching together, and provide reference for peer workers to better understand effective teaching and improve effective teaching efficiency.

Structural Relationships among Self-Management, SelfResilience, and Adaptability to Chinese and Korean College Life in Physical Education Majors

Background: We aimed to investigate the relationships among self-management, self-resilience, and adaptability to college life in Chinese and Korean students majoring in physical education. In addition, we explored the mediating role of self-resilience in the relationship between self-management and adaptability to college life. Methods: Random sampling was used to identify participants majoring in physical education at five colleges and universities in Shaanxi (China) and four universities in Kyonggi-do Province (Republic of Korea) in June 2020. We analyzed data for 700 students via exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, structural equation model analysis, and path analysis. Results: Self-management had a significant impact on self-resilience (P<0.001), while self-resilience had a significant impact on adaptability to college life (P<0.001). Among self-management variables, body management had a significant negative impact on adaptability to college life (P<0.001). Self-resilience had a mediating effect on the relationship between self-management and adaptability to college life (P=0.024). Conclusion: Our findings highlight the need to develop systems that cultivate students’ abilities to integrate into university life, including their abilities to face unsatisfactory studies, manage spare time, make physical adjustments, adapt to new living environments, and maintain interpersonal relationships. Strengthening selfmanagement abilities will lead to improvements in self-resilience, adaptability, and satisfaction with university life among physical education majors.

Diversified Talent Cultivation Mechanism of Early Childhood Physical Education Under the Full-Practice Concept – Oriented by Preschooler Mental Health and Intelligent Teaching

In order to improve early childhood physical education, in this study, the talent cultivation mechanism for undergraduates was explored under the “full-practice” concept, oriented by preschooler mental health. First, from the perspective of preschooler psychology, the mechanisms of ability training and talent cultivation for undergraduates majoring in early childhood education were explored under the “full-practice” concept. Considering that the physical, psychological, and intellectual development of preschoolers shall follow the rules of physical education, and current early childhood education mainly focuses on intelligence education in China, early childhood physical education was analyzed further in this study. By investigating the undergraduate majors of early childhood education in Henan University, this study first summarized the current problems in early childhood education systems in universities. Secondly, combined with the form of physical education in kindergartens, strategies for talent cultivation and curriculum setting of early childhood physical education majors in colleges and universities were proposed. Finally, from the perspective of innovation and diversification of training forms, the cultivation of early childhood educators’ physical education ability was analyzed at multiple levels and multiple objectives, and the integrated training system of early childhood education talents was constructed. The results show that, among all the courses for early childhood education major, compulsory courses account for 81.2% and optional courses account for 18.8%. In addition, a survey on undergraduates’ attitudes toward the curriculum of their major demonstrates that 81.2% of the undergraduates thought that the range and content of practical courses should be increased, indicating that undergraduates majoring in early childhood education are dissatisfied with the current curriculum system, and they have an increased demand for practical courses. Correspondingly, it is vital to build and improve on the early childhood physical education. In terms of its talent cultivation, the “full-practice” concept helps combine theory with practice to improve the effectiveness of education and teaching, pushing forward the reform of the education system. Meanwhile, data- and intelligence-oriented teaching will become the new direction of modern sports development, as well as an important link for tracking and monitoring children’s sports teaching in China. Through the continuous introduction of wearable artificial intelligence (AI) products, real-time monitoring of children’s physical conditions can be realized, which helps improve the effectiveness of early childhood physical education.

The Effects of Play Practice Instruction on the Badminton Content Knowledge of a Cohort of Chinese Physical Education Majors

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Play Practice instruction on the badminton content knowledge and skill of a cohort of Chinese physical education majors. Method: Seventy-two second-year students participated in semester-long courses following either the principles of Play Practice or skill-focused instruction. A control/comparison group experimental design with pre- and postmeasures was used in this study. Separate analyses of variance with repeated measures (Time × Group) were conducted to examine the effects of Play Practice and skill-focused instruction for each of four dependent variables: (a) forehand clear, (b) tactical understanding, (c) game performance, and (d) specialized content knowledge. Results: Students from both conditions made significant improvements in all four variables across the semester. However, students in the Play Practice condition showed significantly greater gains in tactical understanding, game performance, and specialized content knowledge. In particular, while 75% of students who experienced Play Practice reached the 3.0 benchmark score for adequate specialized content knowledge, only 8% of students in skill-focused instruction reached this standard.
