Current status and analysis of the implementation of wushu teaching models in primary education stage

The aim of this study is to explore the current status of the implementation of wushu teaching at the primary education level, and to analyse the popularity of the curriculum, the interest of students and the diversity of teaching models. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect detailed data on the teaching of wushu in 44 primary schools in Hebei Province, China, including curriculum, students' love, teaching models, teaching objectives, content, guidelines, methods, procedures, assessment and evaluation, and the use of teaching aids and considerations. The results showed that most schools had incorporated wushu into their curricula, but students' interest in the curriculum was low; the teaching model was based on the traditional “basic skills + routines”, with insufficient practical training; and the teaching objectives were oriented towards movement quality and physical fitness, with less emphasis on cultural education and moral education. The study points out that the current teaching of wushu has problems such as uneven allocation of resources, single teaching model, lack of interactivity and interest, limited setting of teaching objectives, lack of innovation in teaching methods, and imperfect assessment and evaluation system. In this regard, the following suggestions are made: strengthen the allocation of resources to ensure that all schools can carry out wushu courses; optimize the curriculum content and teaching methods to enhance interactivity and interest; and introduce the art of attack and defence and wushu morality to enhance students' overall quality; set more comprehensive teaching objectives, focusing on wushu interest, offensive and defensive skills and moral education; adopt diversified teaching methods and procedures, and increase practical training and interactive sessions; and establish a comprehensive assessment and evaluation system, and provide adequate teaching support and security to enhance the effectiveness of wushu teaching at the primary education level.
