Innovation of the teaching mode for physical education of college students based on psychological analysis and constructivism

Abstract

The traditional teaching mode of physical education has many shortcomings in both concept and practice. For instance, the psychological needs of students are basically overlooked in the teaching process. To solve the problem, this paper attempts to develop an innovative teaching model for physical education that caters to the psychological needs of college students. Firstly, the author fully deliberated the teaching model of physical education in the light of constructivism, and demonstrated the importance of learner-centrism in the teaching practice. Then, the mental health of college students in physical education major was evaluated empirically, revealing that mental problems exist in quite a number of these students. Based on the psychological analysis, the student-oriented principle was introduced to the traditional teaching model of physical education, creating an innovative teaching model that fully consider the physiological problems of college students. To verify its performance, the proposed teaching model was compared with the traditional teaching model through simulation. The results show that our learner-centered teaching model for physical education achieved desirable results among college students. The research findings provide a new path for the reform of physical education in colleges.
