Abstract

Background and Aim: With the continuous advancement of the reform of physical education in colleges and universities, swimming course plays an increasingly prominent role in college physical education. The objective of this research was to develop the indicator swimming teaching model for higher education students, to improve the teaching quality of college swimming courses and students' comprehensive quality.


Materials and Methods: This research is mixed methods research type. The participants in this research can be divided into four groups, which are as follows:(1) 540 students and 36 teachers from 12 universities in Henan China were chosen to engage in responding to the questionnaires; (2) 7 experts were invited to in-depth interview; (3) 19 experts were invited to conduct two-round Delphi study; and (4) 9 experts were invited to discuss and confirm the constructed developing the indicator swimming teaching model for higher education students. The average and standard deviation are utilized to analyze the data obtained from the questionnaire, the consensus data is analyzed by using the median and interquartile range, with criteria set at a median of ≥ 3.50 and an interquartile range of ≤ 1.50.


Results: The results show that the indicator swimming teaching model for higher education students is composed of 6 factors, namely: (A) Course objective; (B) Teaching content and organization; (C) Teaching methods and means; (D) Teaching practice, (E) Assessment and evaluation; and (F) Teaching resources and safety assurance, 19 components and 61 indicators.


Conclusion: The results show that the indicator swimming teaching model for higher education students is composed of 6 factors, 19 components, and 61 indicators. The content and application of this model have been evaluated and confirmed by 9 experts. It provides an effective tool for the evaluation and decision-making of the swimming teaching model of college students in Henan province. This teaching model is expected to change the traditional swimming teaching model and set a benchmark for other provinces.
