At the beginning of the new semester, the students of Beijing Primary School in Xicheng District got a big gift. They had a close contact with Zhang Lu, an old alumnus and a famous football commentator, and beijing guoan football club, the vice chairman of the school, and will enjoy a week of football lessons from this semester. At the beginning of this month, Zhang Lu and Yang Pu, director of Guoan Youth Department, were employed as experts in football curriculum guidance for primary schools in Beijing. ("Beijing News" March 17)
On November 26th, 2014, Liu Yandong, Vice Premier of members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, gave important instructions on vigorously developing campus football at the national video conference on campus football. In 2015, the Ministry of Education will take back the initiative of campus football, and at the same time, it will launch version 5.0 of the campus football plan to comprehensively promote the development of campus football. As a sign, up to now, local education departments have successively issued specific implementation plans, and football is in the ascendant on campus, which has become the biggest reform highlight of school physical education curriculum and sports activities. Not to mention the excitement of this move to the Chinese people’s "criticized feelings" about football, but in terms of the sports interest, exercise significance and sports value of football itself, football entering the campus is indeed a school physical education reform worth looking forward to.
However, in the eyes of many people, the introduction of football into the campus is just to increase the proportion of a ball game in the content of physical education teaching, which is nothing more than to increase the content of some football activities and teaching content. But in fact, it is far from it. The second national security club’s move to "enter" Beijing primary school is also a refreshing and exemplary attempt. On the one hand, it is a famous football professional club, and on the other hand, it is an interested primary school teacher and student. Their integration and closeness once again confirms and shows that football entering the campus is far from a simple football education truth and connotation.
If football enters the campus, from a sports point of view, it may be an item and content to increase the amount of "kicking". But in essence, behind it is the follow-up and improvement of complex and demanding related auxiliary measures. First of all, the content of physical education curriculum has increased in connotation science. Although football has turned into an increase in the content of simple sports activities and the form of courses outside the campus, there are many and complicated questions to be answered behind a small football. How to cultivate students’ interest in football? How to carry out targeted and scientific football training content on the basis of adapting to students’ age and physical and mental development characteristics? How to implement different football curriculum education according to gender? How to lay a scientific curriculum carrier and approach? Wait, these are all urgent questions to answer.
Secondly, for football to enter the campus, on the surface, it is the reform and deepening of football physical education, but in essence it also includes the ardent concern about the teaching reform and popularization of competitive sports, the cultivation and promotion of football literacy for the whole people, and the ways and attempts to cultivate competitive consciousness and physical literacy. Therefore, football entering the campus is far from being as simple as a "kick". The ardent expectation for the sports literacy of the whole people, the expectation and concern for the prosperity of football, etc. are hidden behind it. Therefore, this is by no means a matter for education departments and schools, but should become a hot spot of concern for the whole society.
At the same time, when football enters the campus, apart from the reform and improvement of the curriculum itself, where do professional teachers come from? Where can I find the sports ground? I’m afraid this is an urgent problem to be solved. Therefore, how to make full use of the existing resources, let professional teams and clubs and professionals lean down to talk about football fun among primary and secondary school students, how to get close to professional venues and professional objects to form a common football education channel, and how to make getting close to football, accepting football and happy football become the landscape of campus education reform in the most acceptable ways and methods for young people? I’m afraid all these things need our attention and intervention, participation and even shaking hands with each other to solve.
Football entering the campus is not as simple as "kicking". This is a key and key point directly related to the cultivation of young people’s sports literacy, the forging of competitive interest, the improvement of comprehensive quality and even the rise of national sports fitness. It should be the concern of the whole society, and sports, education, health, sports, professional teams, football clubs, professional venues, all walks of life and so on should pay attention to and participate in the intervention. The effectiveness of football entering the campus and the quality of the dream of campus football depend on it.
