Analysis of the Impact of Physical Education and Health Courses on the Cultivation of College Students’ Core Literacy in Colleges and Universities

As constituting an important part of the core literacy of college students, core literacy in physical education is a solid aid to promote the overall development and healthy growth of college students. The study takes college students from several colleges and universities in G place as the research object, selects five dimensions to design the questionnaire and recovers the data, and utilizes the standard deviation method to measure the multi-dimensional level of physical education core literacy cultivation of college students. On this basis, the influence model of physical education and health courses on college students’ core literacy development was constructed, and relevant hypotheses were proposed. Combined with correlation analysis and regression analysis, the influence relationship between the two was explored and the hypotheses proposed in this paper were verified. The results show that the overall physical education core literacy of the sample college students is at a medium level, and the college students have the highest level of physical education and health knowledge, which is 35.94 points. Students’ sports cognition, teachers’ professionalism, physical education teaching environment, physical education curriculum implementation, and extracurricular physical education activities all have a significant positive effect on college students’ core literacy (p < 0.05), with the most significant effect being that of physical education curriculum implementation. Colleges and universities should improve the supply of conditions for college students’ core literacy in physical education, optimize the physical education teaching system, and link resources sharing to promote the improvement of college students’ core literacy.
