Exploration and Research on the Integration of Life Safety Education into Public Physical Education Courses —Taking the Rock Climbing Course as an Example
The integration of life safety education into physical education is a key path to promote students’ all-round development. This study takes rock climbing course as an example to explore the integration of life safety education with physical education courses in colleges and universities. Through questionnaires and interviews with 200 teachers and students from four schools, we found that students’ safety knowledge is mostly superficial (63.7% only“understand some”), the clarity of the teaching content is insufficient (5.2% think it is“very clear”), and there is a disconnection between theory and practice. Practical exercises (100%) and case studies (97.4%) proved to be the most effective safety education methods. The study reveals that there are three major dilemmas in the current integration: fragmentation of content, single method of teaching, and lack of system. Accordingly, the study proposes the optimisation strategies of constructing a cyclic teaching model of ‘practice-reflection-internalisation’, strengthening the training of simulation scenarios, perfecting the system of teachers’ training, and setting up the framework of a stage-by-stage curriculum (cognitive-emotional-skill), which provide theoretical and practical references to deepen the reform of the physical education curriculum, and to promote the internalisation of life-safety education.
