Practical Dilemmas and Promotion Strategies of Ideological and Political Education in the Physical Education under the Perspective of Professional Certification

Abstract

This study employs the methods of literature review and logical analysis to investigate issues related to the construction of Ideological and Political Education (IPE) in the Physical Education (PE) from the perspective of teacher education professional certification. It first analyzes the underlying logic, which includes practice promotion under policy guidance, the deep coupling between professional certification and IPE, and the mutual embedding of fitness factors and moral cultivation factors within the PE curriculum itself. It then examines the existing problems in the current construction, such as insufficient motivation for teacher ethics cultivation, a curriculum and teaching approach that emphasizes knowledge over moral character, singular methods in educational practice, and the weakening of reflective practice. Finally, optimization pathways are proposed across four dimensions: constructing a cultivation mechanism that coordinates embodied physical education practice with evaluation; developing a curriculum system that integrates the pursuit of physical education knowledge with the establishment of moral character; designing an educational path where ideological and political skills permeate physical education scenarios; and establishing a long-term mechanism where ideological and political reflection empowers growth. The research aims to provide references for deepening the advancement of IPE in the physical education, thereby aiding in the cultivation of qualified physical education professionals who possess both ideological-political literacy and professional competence.
