Abstract

Background and Aim: Currently, education is entering a rapid stage of development in smart education. Starting in 2015, research on the comprehension and application of smart education has received notable recognition in academic circles. It has actively and effectively contributed to advancing a fresh phase of educational reform and enhancing educational progress. This research aims to construct the developing strategies to implement smart sports in higher education institutions in Heilongjiang Province.

Materials and Methods: The participants in this research can be divided into four groups, which are as follows: (1) 20 teachers and 400 students were selected to participate in answering the questionnaires; (2) 7 experts were invited to in-depth interviews; (3) 19 experts were invited to conduct two-round Delphi study; and (4) 9 experts were invited to discuss and confirm the developing strategies to implement smart sports in higher education institutions in Heilongjiang province, based on POLC framework. Descriptive statistics, such as the calculation of the mean and standard deviation, are employed to assess the questionnaire data. The consensus data was analyzed by using the median and interquartile range. The criteria for analysis were a median of ≥ 3.50 and an interquartile range of ≤ 1.50.

Results: the factors for the developing strategies were divided into four aspects as follows: 1. Planning, which includes Development Strategy which consists of 5 factors; 2. Organizing includes basic support which consists of 6 factors, and physical education curriculum integration setup and implementation which consists of 9 factors; 3. Leading includes a Sports Learning Environment which consists of 5 factors; and 4. Controlling includes Sports big data monitoring and evaluation which consists of 6 factors and Sports services and management which consist of 7 factors.
