Academics
The Department of Physical Education has always placed great importance on teaching. Since 1998, it has held over a hundred teaching seminars of various types and sizes.
1. Seminars involving all faculty members are held once during a fixed time in the fall and spring semesters, in the 17th or 18th week, for half a day. Irregular seminars are held mid-semester for half a day.
The theme of each teaching seminar is determined after repeated discussion, and the content and format are carefully organized. Focusing on the unique aspects of physical education, and incorporating the "trinity" teaching philosophy and issues related to talent cultivation, these seminars facilitate multi-level, multi-faceted, and in-depth discussions. Problems identified during the teaching reform process are analyzed and summarized, with the aim of making improvements and enhancements in future educational practices.
Special segments of these seminars include: thematic reports on representative courses presented by outstanding teachers selected from each teaching and research office, demonstration classes by outstanding teachers, lectures and critiques by young teachers, a teaching competition segment for young teachers, experience sharing by distinguished teachers, curriculum system discussions, course evaluations, and discussions on hot topics in education.
2. In accordance with the teaching plan and requirements, the four teaching and research offices of the department (First-Year Group, Ball Games Group, Swimming Group, and General Group) hold internal seminars based on the characteristics of their respective courses. All teachers participate in discussions on topics ranging from how to better help students regain physical fitness at the beginning of the semester and lesson plan writing, to improving the scientific rigor and accuracy of final exams. Issues of common concern and seminar findings are brought to the departmental teaching seminars for broader discussion and sharing.
