Present situation and suggestions of gymnastics teaching in physical education class in middle schools

Through the investigation of physical gymnastics teaching in middle schools in recent years, it is found that more than 90% schools do not offer gymnastics classes, especially instrumental gymnastics teaching. The reason is that teachers and students are afraid of safety accidents, thus diluting gymnastics. In the long run, PE teachers will not demonstrate, students will not experience the fun of completing gymnastics and will not get effective exercise. Physical education teachers have the responsibility to change this situation and let gymnastics teaching return to physical education classroom.

Keywords: gymnastics teaching; Current situation; suggestion

Gymnastics refers to a sports event with certain artistic requirements, which is to complete individual movements, combined movements or complete sets of movements with different types and difficulties with bare hands and light equipment, to develop people's potential and show their control ability. Gymnastics has various forms and rich contents, which plays a great role in strengthening physical fitness, promoting human development and cultivating people's will quality. Gymnastics textbooks were required in the physical education syllabus in the 1970s and 1980s, and they were required to be studied every semester. The new curriculum standard of physical education and health puts forward that students should be able to achieve the learning goals of Level 4 and Level 5, and should be able to complete one or two sets of skills or instrumental gymnastics movements. However, it is rare for PE teachers to seriously perform this responsibility in class. The reason is "safety first", the school is not allowed to have injury accidents, teachers are even more afraid of injury accidents in physical education class, and the school blindly pursues the enrollment rate, not to mention gymnastics teaching. Therefore, gymnastics teaching is almost paralyzed in middle school physical education teaching. Some schools have removed the original single parallel bars for safety reasons, and most of the school goats and jumping boxes are covered with dust in the storage room. Gymnastics teaching plays a great role in developing students' physical quality in an all-round way, cultivating students' coordination and flexibility, enhancing their strength, improving their aesthetic value, exercising their ability to climb and cross obstacles, and cultivating good will quality. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out gymnastics teaching in middle schools.

First, the purpose and significance of gymnastics teaching

Gymnastics textbooks have special exercise value, and have significant effects on developing students' support ability, upper limb strength, waist and abdomen strength, drape ability, sense of time and space, sense of orientation, flexibility and coordination. In addition, gymnastics teaching can cultivate students' good quality and their spirit of courage, decisiveness, tenacity, fearlessness and calmness. For example, in vault teaching, students are very scared, but with the teacher's demonstration and encouragement, plus effective protection and help means and step-by-step teaching methods, students finally overcome the psychological obstacles and bravely and decisively completed the first jump. This kind of leap is necessary in teaching, and the whole teaching process is often not smooth sailing. It takes many failures, summaries and repeated exercises to master the movements gradually, so that students can temper their will and cultivate perseverance and initiative in the process of continuous practice. Protection and help are the most common teaching methods in gymnastics teaching. Making full use of protection and help can make students trust each other and have a harmonious relationship, and cultivate their spirit of unity, cooperation and mutual assistance. Gymnastics also has a certain aesthetic feeling. A perfect action can give people beautiful enjoyment and cultivate students' aesthetic ability and expressive force. It can be seen that there are many benefits in carrying out gymnastics teaching in physical education.

Second, many schools reduce or even do not offer gymnastics classes.

Due to the difficulty of gymnastics movements, high requirements for venue equipment and great danger, many schools reduce or even do not offer gymnastics classes for fear of safety accidents.

1. Now many families are only children, and children are the hope of families and society. Many schools have changed "health first" to "safety first". In addition, parents' awareness of accountability and compensation has been enhanced after students' injury accidents on campus, which has a great impact on schools and teachers. Therefore, many schools don't make too many demands on physical education class, thinking that as long as they can make students move, sweat and get exercise, they will dilute the requirements of the syllabus, and teachers feel why not.

2. It is an indisputable fact that students' physical quality is generally declining at present. Muscle strength, body flexibility and coordination are the basis of gymnastics teaching, which is the result of many schools attaching importance to literature but neglecting body. Classes are full from morning till night, and students have no time to exercise except after attending physical education class. The slogan "Exercise for one hour every day" is ineffective, which ignores students' independent exercise and restricts the development of gymnastics teaching to some extent. There are also uneven individual differences in students' physical quality. A little carelessness in practice will cause sports injuries and make students feel scared in gymnastics teaching.

3. Because gymnastics teaching is rarely carried out, many teachers forget their gymnastics professional skills and rarely demonstrate their movements in class, which leads to many teachers' poor gymnastics ability, and they dare not do or demonstrate gymnastics, most of them dare not demonstrate accurately, and they will not use the means of protection and help correctly, let alone master accurate terms.

4. The factors of site equipment are also very important. The venue equipment in gymnastics teaching is an important tool for students to intuitively understand and understand gymnastics movements. Reasonable arrangement of gymnastics facilities can reduce the occurrence of accidents in practice, increase students' confidence in practice and arouse their enthusiasm for practice.

Third, how to teach gymnastics in physical education.

At present, gymnastics teaching is in an awkward position in middle school physical education teaching. As a physical education teacher, I have the responsibility to change this situation and let gymnastics teaching return to physical education class. It is suggested to start from the following aspects.

1. Increase basic skills exercises to improve students' physical fitness.

Good physical fitness is the basis of mastering correct sports skills. Gymnastics requires high physical qualities such as strength, flexibility, agility and coordination, so it is very important to strengthen students' training in this respect. You can consciously strengthen flexibility and coordination exercises in the preparation part of each class, such as shoulder pressing, leg press, belly jumping and various unarmed exercises; Strength exercises, such as one-legged jumping, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and other upper limb strength and waist and abdomen strength exercises, are carried out before the end of each physical education class, and after-school exercise tasks are arranged to lay a good foundation for gymnastics teaching.

2. Eliminate students' fear of gymnastics class.

Teachers' elegant demonstration movements and proper protection help to eliminate students' fears. Teachers should make every demonstration easy and accurate, so that students can enjoy it after reading it, and dare to try it. Teachers should teach students in accordance with their aptitude, give more encouragement, make great efforts to protect and help students with poor physical fitness, so that they can have absolute security in practice, encourage and praise every progress of students, and let students eliminate their fears step by step based on the principle of step-by-step teaching, from the initial mastery of movements to proficiency through repeated practice.

3. Pay attention to protection and help, and strengthen safety measures.

The most important thing in gymnastics teaching is protection and help. Correct use of protection and help means can eliminate students' fear to some extent, improve teaching effect and prevent sports injuries. Only when students have a sense of security in practice can they boldly practice, speed up the teaching progress and better complete the teaching tasks. In gymnastics teaching, whether it is supporting jumping, horizontal bar and parallel bars, emphasizing the methods and application of protection and help can not only increase students' self-confidence, but also enhance friendship, give play to their own advantages, encourage each other and improve together. The author has a deep feeling in the teaching of "jumping over the parallel bars". Students should master the correct means of protection and help, encourage each other, and can't teach with their own experience first. The teaching that was originally planned to be completed in six hours enabled the whole class to master and complete the movements skillfully in five hours.

4. Intensive reading and more practice, and appropriately increase the number of practice hours.

Gymnastics is difficult and technical, so it is necessary to increase the number of exercises and time in the learning process, and constantly improve and improve the movement skills under the guidance of teachers. In order to achieve this goal, teachers are advised to concentrate on explaining and let students practice more. Only through repeated practice can the movements be used freely.

5. Teachers should strengthen their own gymnastics exercises and improve their teaching level.

It is suggested that the physical education teaching and research group should study and practice gymnastics collectively, and be guided and corrected by the gymnastics teachers in this group, so that all the teachers in this group can learn all the movements in gymnastics teaching from junior high school to senior high school, and evaluate each movement one by one, so that everyone can pass the test. Only when teachers master the skills and difficulties of movements, are familiar with organizing teaching, and can correctly use the methods of protection and help can they achieve the teaching objectives in teaching and fully mobilize students' enthusiasm for practice. There are some individual differences in students' physical quality, and there are some security risks in practice. This requires teachers to prepare lessons carefully before class, master the difficulties and difficulties of skills, take into account all kinds of sudden safety accidents in the teaching process, and be familiar with teaching materials. Only by choosing appropriate teaching means and methods, organizing in an orderly manner and strengthening protection and help can gymnastics teaching proceed smoothly. Teachers should not neglect gymnastics teaching and deprive students of the right to learn gymnastics skills for safety reasons. In addition, teachers should constantly strengthen their own exercise, have the spirit of never too old to learn, strive to improve their professional ability, and do their part for the development of gymnastics teaching in schools.
