The Basic Theoretical Issues Reflection on Subject Key Competences of Physical Education and Health Discipline——Based on Clarification of Sports Ability and Health Behavior in Curriculum Standard

Based on the basic theoretical issues of conceptualizations and definitions of “sports of ability” and “health behavior”, the key competences in two subjects in National Physical Education and Health Curriculum Standard of Senior High Schools(2017 Edition), this article aims to clarify, revise and improve the relevant understanding and theories, and give full play to the educational value of physical education and health curriculum in a more comprehensive way. It's considered that: 1) There are inconsistencies in the definition of “sports ability”. From the perspective of basic definition, technical and tactical ability and psychological ability should not refer to “the foundation of physical activity” and “basic sports ability”. It's difficult to distinguish between basic sports ability and specialized item sports ability; “sports” is blended in hyponymy of concepts; the composition of sub-targets is beyond the category of “sports ability”, and the expressions of part of sub-targets are idealistic. 2) The positioning and formulation of “health behavior” is biased and inappropriate. “Health behavior” lacks the “non-behavioral” and resultative competences of health pursuit.It's difficult to reflect the dominance of physical education(curriculum) in health pursuit, and it can't contain health knowledge,health consciousness and health skills, etc., and part of the content in sub-targets and levels division shouldn't have belonged to health behavior. 3) The consideration of the modification and adjustment of “sports ability” and “health behavior” mainly include:the connotation definition and denotation demarcation of “sports ability”; the association between physical education and health; the comparison and distinction among health-related literacies of the subject, health literacy and physical literacy; the attribution of physical conditioning(whether physical conditioning belongs to sports ability or health-related literacies). As the adaptation and transcendence of “health behavior”, the proposal of health-related key competences of the subject should take into account the guiding ideologies and targets of physical education and health curriculum, the characteristics of limited health promotion of physical education, the different compositions of curriculum(physical education and health education), and the multi-dimensional compositions of health literacy and physical literacy.
