A Study on The Application of The TPSR Model in College Swimming Instruction

This study explores the impact of integrating the Teaching Personal and Social ‎Responsibility (TPSR) model into the Sport Education Model (SEM) within the ‎context of college-level swimming instruction. A combination of experimental design, ‎statistical analysis, questionnaire surveys, and literature review methods was ‎employed. The experimental group received instruction based on the TPSR-SEM ‎integrated model, while the control group followed a conventional teaching approach. ‎The results indicate:‎ Breaststroke Skills: Although both groups showed improvement in breaststroke ‎technique and swimming distance after the intervention, the experimental group ‎exhibited significantly greater progress (P < 0.01). TPSR assessment scores were also ‎markedly higher in the experimental group, indicating the superiority of the integrated ‎model in enhancing swimming skills.‎ Learning Interest: Students in the experimental group demonstrated significantly ‎higher interest in swimming learning compared to the control group (P < 0.01), ‎suggesting the integrated model more effectively stimulates learning motivation.‎ Sense of Responsibility: The experimental group scored significantly higher in ‎personal and social responsibility than the control group (P < 0.01), demonstrating the ‎model’s effectiveness in fostering student responsibility.‎ In summary, the integration of the TPSR model into SEM in college swimming ‎instruction can significantly improve students’ technical proficiency, enhance their ‎learning interest, and strengthen their personal and social responsibility‎.
