INTEGRATION OF SPORTS AND MEDICINE: A NEW DIRECTION FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY SUBJECT LEARNING IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Interdisciplinary Subject Learning (Below the ISL) with the aim of multi-disciplinary integration and promoting student development was the new content of Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards for Physical Education and Health (2022 Edition). As a typical example of interdisciplinary integration, Integration of Sports and Medicine (Below the ISM) has a high degree of adaptability to ISL. Therefore, ISM can be a new direction for ISL in physical education. In order to find out the possible problems of ISL with ISM as the theme, a thematic analysis was carried out with three basic elements as the analysis framework: the design of teaching materials, the evaluation system, and the teachers' abilities. This provides a basis for the successful development of ISL with the theme of ISM in primary and secondary schools in the future. The origin and development of ISM and related research on ISM in China are also discussed. Based on a review of the history of ISM research in China as well as the understanding of the internal logic of ISM and ISL, a plan for the future implementation of ISL with the theme of ISM is outlined, including the design of teaching materials by grasping the characteristics of ISM and ISL, improving the evaluation system from multiple dimensions, and strengthening the training of teachers' comprehensive ability in sports and medicine before and in service.
