Developing Strategies for After School Sports Services under the “Double Reduction Policy” of Primary Schools in Chengdu City, the People’s Republic of China
Abstract
Background and Aims: In 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council also introduced “The Opinions on Further Reducing the Burden of Homework and Off-campus Training for Students in Compulsory Education”. The main objective of the study is to construct strategies for after-school sports services under the “double reduction policy” of primary schools in Chengdu.
Methodology: There are 647 public primary schools and about 5500 professional physical education teachers in primary schools in Chengdu by the end of 2022. A total of 12 public primary schools are randomly selected from 6 administrative regions (2 schools in each region) using the random sampling method as the survey object. 300 relevant teachers and 600 students’ parents were selected from the surveyed schools. The research methods used include a literature review and questionnaire method.
Result: Under the “double reduction policy”, the overall development of after-school sports services in primary schools in Chengdu is good and meets the relevant requirements of the policy. However, there are still problems in terms of teaching staff, venue equipment, and evaluation system. In response to the above issues, this study proposes a series of innovative and practical strategies by analyzing the affecting factors of after-school sports services.
Conclusion: In summary, although Chengdu's primary school sports services comply with the "double reduction policy," staffing, facilities, and assessment issues still exist. This research makes specific recommendations for how to deal with these problems and improve efficacy in general.
