Historical Review,Essential Characteristics and Practical Pathways of Large Unit Teaching in Physical Education and Health Curriculum
From a historical origin perspective,this study reviews the origins and development of unit teaching and comprehensively analyzes the historical development stages of unit teaching in China.Through case studies,it systematically explores the essential characteristics and practical pathways of large unit teaching in physical education and health curriculum in China.It finds that Herbart's educational psychology nurtured the early stages of unit teaching,and the concept of unit teaching emerged and developed during the modern educational movement in Europe and America.Since the 20th century,the theory and practice of unit teaching in China have undergone four stages:the embryonic period,exploratory period,stagnant period and developmental period,marking a genuine modern transformation towards large unit teaching in physical education and health curriculum.The essential characteristics of large unit teaching in physical education and health curriculum include developmental educational orientation,holistic knowledge systems,systematic structural elements and actionable subject-based practice.Addressing practical challenges,the study provides practical pathways for large unit teaching in physical education and health curriculum:at the macro level,a diversified and coordinated model serves as the comprehensive guarantee to build a"peak"collaborative practice model for the national curriculum;at the meso level,the formulation of the Five Major Teaching Plans ensures the systematic implementation of the national curriculum;at the micro level,the holistic construction of the knowledge system is emphasized to ensure the actual implementation of large unit teaching;and at the individual level,subject practice within large unit teaching serves as an anchor point to promote deep learning.
