Exploration of Key Elements and Implementation of School Winter Sports Talent Cultivation System under the Concept of New Quality Productive Forces

Against the backdrop of the nation’s heightened emphasis on winter sports and the call for “300 million people participating in winter sports”, this study employs research methods including literature analysis, expert interviews, logical reasoning, and empirical investigation. Integrating the current development status of winter sports in China, existing challenges in talent cultivation, and the impact of new quality productive forces on the operation of schoolbased winter sports talent cultivation systems, it explores the key elements and operational cases of such systems under the new quality productive forces framework. The research identifies five core elements for constructing a winter sports talent cultivation system under this concept: cultivation objectives, mechanisms, curriculum design, practical platforms, and teaching teams. Empirical case studies reveal that schools should leverage their unique educational strengths, prioritize competency development, adopt industry-education integration pathways, and drive innovation through practical initiatives to cultivate high-quality applied talents in winter sports. By implementing a multidimensional cultivation system covering theoretical instruction, practical training, competitive activities, and social services, schools can foster students’ holistic development and provide sustained talent support for building China into a winter sports power.
