Innovative Measures for University Wushu Training Program: Stimulating Students' Knowledge, Interest, and Personal Values

Wushu, a traditional Chinese martial art, represents both a physical discipline and a profound cultural legacy. This study explores innovative strategies to modernize university Wushu training programs, focusing on three key approaches: knowledge-based, interest-based, and values-based innovations. Knowledge-based innovations, including layered teaching design and interdisciplinary integration, promote systematic skill development and broaden students' educational horizons. Interest-based innovations, such as gamified teaching and reward systems, enhance student engagement and motivation by transforming traditional learning into dynamic, participatory experiences. Values-based innovations integrate cultural education and teamwork activities, fostering moral development and cultural appreciation. The findings highlight significant improvements in student learning outcomes, cultural understanding, and personal growth. However, challenges such as instructor expertise and curriculum adaptation need addressing for long-term success. This study provides practical recommendations for educators and policymakers to ensure Wushu education remains relevant and impactful in contemporary university contexts.
