Research on the Optimization Path of Track and Field Teaching Strategies under the Guidance of Core Literacy

Against the backdrop of continuous education reform and the emphasis on cultivating core competencies, track and field teaching, as an important component of physical education, plays a crucial role in optimizing teaching strategies to enhance students' core competencies. This study focuses on the optimization path of track and field teaching strategies under the guidance of core competencies, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for improving the quality of track and field teaching and promoting students' comprehensive development. Firstly, by reviewing the current research status at home and abroad, the shortcomings of current research on track and field teaching strategies are identified, and the starting point of this study is determined. Next, we will delve into the theoretical foundation of core competencies and track and field teaching, elaborating on the connotation and composition of core competencies, as well as the goals and characteristics of track and field teaching, and exploring the intrinsic relationship between the two. By using methods such as questionnaire surveys, this study analyzes the current situation of track and field teaching under the guidance of core literacy, and identifies problems in teaching implementation, the manifestation of core literacy cultivation, and the influencing factors of teaching strategy implementation. Based on this, an optimization path is proposed from four dimensions: teaching objectives, teaching content, teaching methods and means, and teaching evaluation. In terms of teaching objectives, follow the principles of scientificity, optimize different dimensions of objectives, and effectively connect them with curriculum standards; In terms of teaching content, select, transform, and innovate content based on principles such as interest, and achieve deep integration with core competencies; In terms of teaching methods and tools, diversified teaching methods should be used, modern teaching tools should be introduced, and innovative practices should be encouraged. This study emphasizes the importance and effectiveness of optimizing track and field teaching strategies under the guidance of core competencies. Through the implementation of a series of optimization paths, it is expected to improve the pertinence and effectiveness of track and field teaching, better cultivate students' core competencies such as sports ability, healthy behavior, and sports ethics, and contribute to the reform of physical education and the comprehensive development of students.
