The Growing-up of Student Athletes——On the Path Innovation of the Integration of Sports and Education

Through the integration of actor network theory and the use of qualitative research methods, this paper discusses the growth process of student athletes, and the action mechanism and background elements of the integration of sports and education It is found that the growth of student-athletes is a process that takes into account skills training, knowledge imparting, personality shaping, emotional communication, and wisdom training, and contains an actor network that has absorbed a number of heterogeneous actors. The core actors of the macro-level are the education administrative departments, and the core actors of the macro-level are the coaches. Although the multiple values of sports people are obscured by the practical value of exam-oriented education under the framework of higher education, and even bring disputes between departments, but with student athletes as the convergence point of interests, “find a way out for children” as the common goal, various heterogeneous actors continue to promote the integration of sports and education through multiple participation, process control and benefit sharing. In view of the fact that “student athletes” are an important micro-subject in the complex system engineering of “integration of sports and education”, the following inferences are made: Each actor needs to clarify the ideal cultural model of the integration of sports and education, and take the position rotation of civil servants between the administrative departments of sports and education as a key countermeasure, and encourages the development of market entities and social entities to provide diversified sports services for young people.
