學(xué)習(xí)體育≠孤立地做體育訓(xùn)練

弗朗西斯·培根有一句名言：知識(shí)就是力量。這句話放在21世紀(jì)的體育科學(xué)中，更是一點(diǎn)也沒(méi)有錯(cuò)。完善的體育學(xué)習(xí)離不開理論知識(shí)的支持。有理論加持的實(shí)踐才能讓我們獲得更強(qiáng)大的身體素質(zhì)、精神和情感力量，從而在體育項(xiàng)目中取得更好的運(yùn)動(dòng)表現(xiàn)和運(yùn)動(dòng)體驗(yàn)，這也正是英國(guó)中學(xué)課程IGCSE體育課程的核心：理論知識(shí)與體育訓(xùn)練兩手都要抓、兩手都要硬。

當(dāng)?shù)谝淮温?tīng)說(shuō)學(xué)體育也要學(xué)習(xí)理論知識(shí)時(shí)，想必許多人都覺(jué)得十分驚奇：體育，不是只要“更高、更快、更強(qiáng)”就可以了嗎？“亞洲飛人” 蘇炳添的美籍教練蘭迪·亨廷頓曾通過(guò)一系列科學(xué)測(cè)試和數(shù)據(jù)分析, 解決了蘇炳添百米快跑后程沖刺力差的短板。可見(jiàn)，支撐著人類體育歷史上每一次更高、更快、更強(qiáng)的，除了毅力和天賦，還有科學(xué)理論的支持。惠靈頓杭州校區(qū)的IGCSE體育課程正是體育理論與實(shí)踐完美結(jié)合的體現(xiàn)，賦予學(xué)生更自信地開展體育鍛煉的能力。

下文中，體育教研組長(zhǎng)Christy O"Donnell將為我們?cè)敿?xì)解答惠靈頓杭州校區(qū)的IGCSE體育課程知識(shí)，解答家長(zhǎng)們的常見(jiàn)問(wèn)題。

您能簡(jiǎn)單介紹一下IGCSE體育課程嗎？

劍橋IGCSE體育教材（學(xué)生用書）

在IGCSE體育課上，學(xué)生不僅要進(jìn)行體育實(shí)踐，還要學(xué)習(xí)體育理論知識(shí)。換言之，學(xué)生要一邊開展多項(xiàng)體育活動(dòng)，一邊學(xué)習(xí)所選體育項(xiàng)目的有效技能。這門課程非常適合運(yùn)動(dòng)校隊(duì)成員或身為校外運(yùn)動(dòng)俱樂(lè)部成員的學(xué)生選修學(xué)習(xí)，以精進(jìn)運(yùn)動(dòng)技能，深入鉆研體能、社會(huì)和心理狀態(tài)在運(yùn)動(dòng)中的體現(xiàn)和與運(yùn)動(dòng)的聯(lián)系。哪些原則、實(shí)踐和訓(xùn)練有助于提升運(yùn)動(dòng)技能？怎樣才能保持更好的身心健康狀況？這些都是IGCSE體育課上學(xué)生將深入研討的內(nèi)容。

IGCSE體育理論知識(shí)部分有多重要？

IGCSE體育課程中，體育理論是非常重要的一部分。惠靈頓杭州校區(qū)的IGCSE體育課程中，學(xué)生將學(xué)習(xí)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)背后的理論知識(shí)。這部分內(nèi)容為教室授課。一半理論、一半實(shí)踐的課程設(shè)置讓IGCSE體育課程充滿了樂(lè)趣和挑戰(zhàn)，令人欲罷不能。

學(xué)生每周有三節(jié)體育課，其中，兩節(jié)是教室內(nèi)授課的理論課，一節(jié)是運(yùn)動(dòng)實(shí)踐課。學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)主題有：

- 解剖學(xué)和生理學(xué)

- 健康、健身和訓(xùn)練

- 技巧習(xí)得和心理學(xué)

- 社交、文化和道德影響

IGCSE體育正式考試具體考核的是什么 ？

學(xué)生將于十一年級(jí)末參加體育理論考試。理論考試為書面考試，含簡(jiǎn)答題、論述題和單選題，考試時(shí)長(zhǎng)為1小時(shí)25分鐘，占總成績(jī)的50%。這部分考察的是學(xué)生對(duì)所學(xué)內(nèi)容的理解程度，考察內(nèi)容即為上文中提到的解剖學(xué)和生理學(xué)，健康、健身和訓(xùn)練，技巧習(xí)得和心理學(xué)，社交、文化和道德影響。

運(yùn)動(dòng)實(shí)踐考試占體育考評(píng)的50%。學(xué)生要從多類體育運(yùn)動(dòng)（游戲活動(dòng)、體操活動(dòng)、舞蹈活動(dòng)、體育活動(dòng)、戶外和冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)、游泳和格斗活動(dòng)）中挑選至少兩類中的四項(xiàng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)，并展現(xiàn)相應(yīng)的運(yùn)動(dòng)技能。因此，選修體育課的學(xué)生一定要積極參與課上的所有體育類活動(dòng)中，并積極投入到校園活動(dòng)（SA）中的體育類課程中，這樣才能持續(xù)提升運(yùn)動(dòng)技能。學(xué)校還將積極支持在校外參加高爾夫、滑雪、馬術(shù)、舞蹈等運(yùn)動(dòng)的學(xué)生。考試時(shí)，學(xué)生要提交能展現(xiàn)本人符合考試標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的視頻證據(jù)。

我們?nèi)绾卧u(píng)估學(xué)生表現(xiàn)的？

惠靈頓杭州校區(qū)體育教研組以堅(jiān)定的信念積極支持學(xué)生的IGCSE體育學(xué)習(xí)和運(yùn)動(dòng)發(fā)展，例如鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生樹立遠(yuǎn)大的理想、彌補(bǔ)短板、強(qiáng)化學(xué)習(xí)、保障身心健康，等等。為讓學(xué)生在IGCSE考試中取得優(yōu)異的表現(xiàn)，我們的體育老師們整合多年體育領(lǐng)域的實(shí)踐和教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，傾情傳授自己的專業(yè)知識(shí)。課程開展的過(guò)程中，我們通過(guò)單元小測(cè)和模擬測(cè)試展開過(guò)程性評(píng)估，從而找到并支持學(xué)生發(fā)揮自身優(yōu)勢(shì)、精益求精，讓學(xué)生為參加嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)腎GCSE考試做足準(zhǔn)備。

IGCSE體育課程的評(píng)估目標(biāo)是：

- 認(rèn)識(shí)和理解支撐體育活動(dòng)開展和運(yùn)動(dòng)能力發(fā)展的理論原則。

- 將對(duì)相關(guān)理論原則的知識(shí)和理解（如對(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)能力的分析和評(píng)估）應(yīng)用到多種體育活動(dòng)和運(yùn)動(dòng)中。

- 有能力選擇并實(shí)施相關(guān)技能，有效地施展到選定的四項(xiàng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)中。

我們鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生把握自己的學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)展，找到有待改善的方面，主動(dòng)完成額外的復(fù)習(xí)題和試卷，熟練掌握所學(xué)主題、問(wèn)題，學(xué)習(xí)迎接壓力、積極應(yīng)試的技巧。

學(xué)習(xí)IGCSE體育課后，未來(lái)有哪些職業(yè)選擇？

熱愛(ài)體能活動(dòng)或運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目的孩子，如果希望深入理解所選體育運(yùn)動(dòng)背后的理論原則和知識(shí)，那么惠靈頓杭州校區(qū)的IGCSE體育課程是個(gè)理想的不二選擇。該課程能為學(xué)生奠定夯實(shí)的知識(shí)基礎(chǔ)，讓學(xué)生具備深入研究運(yùn)動(dòng)與體育科學(xué)、物理理療、體育教學(xué)、運(yùn)動(dòng)心理學(xué)、體育營(yíng)銷等的基本技能，或?yàn)槌蔀槁殬I(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員、運(yùn)動(dòng)分析師和體育經(jīng)紀(jì)人等專業(yè)人士做好準(zhǔn)備。縱觀全球，體育相關(guān)類的職業(yè)正在快速增加，而惠靈頓杭州校區(qū)的IGCSE體育課程能為學(xué)生打好從事相關(guān)行業(yè)的堅(jiān)實(shí)基礎(chǔ)。

IGCSE體育課程培養(yǎng)的是學(xué)生的惠立特質(zhì)，尤其是“慎思”這一特質(zhì)。通過(guò)卓越的體育理論教育，我們培養(yǎng)惠立學(xué)子具備批判性地思考問(wèn)題的思辨能力，養(yǎng)成科學(xué)開展體育運(yùn)動(dòng)的思維，激發(fā)學(xué)生開展深層次的學(xué)習(xí)，讓同學(xué)們?cè)趯W(xué)校之外也能時(shí)時(shí)處處好奇多問(wèn)，無(wú)處不學(xué)習(xí)，終生熱愛(ài)體育學(xué)習(xí)。IGCSE體育課更是對(duì)學(xué)生“勇氣”價(jià)值觀的集中體現(xiàn)。正如惠立價(jià)值觀中對(duì)勇氣的定義一樣——勇氣是指克服恐懼、痛苦、危險(xiǎn)、未知或恐嚇的能力，以及為了追求成功而敢于冒險(xiǎn)的精神——學(xué)生的每一場(chǎng)體育鍛煉，不論是球類運(yùn)動(dòng)還是田徑項(xiàng)目，體現(xiàn)的除了持之以恒的信念和毅力之外，還有勇于突破、敢為人先的無(wú)畏勇氣。希望惠立學(xué)子能在體育課的學(xué)習(xí)中，持續(xù)提升自己，以健全的人格和強(qiáng)壯的體魄迎接日新月異的世界。

Physical education is about more than just physical practice

It also requires learning theoretical knowledge. Francis Bacon famously said, “Knowledge is power,” which remains true in Physical Education in the 21st century. Practice supported by theory allows us to be stronger physically, mentally and emotionally, and perform better in our chosen sports. It is the core of the IGCSE PE course in Britain, i.e., our course includes theory learning and physical training.

Many must have been surprised to learn for the first time that they needed to learn theoretical knowledge while taking the PE course. They may wonder, “Isn’t sports simply about getting fitter, faster, and stronger”? Randy Huntington, an American coach for Su Bingtian (the first ever Asian-born sprinter to break the 10-second barrier in the 100 metres event), helped Su to be a faster sprinter by adopting scientific tests and data analysis. It can be seen that besides one’s talent and perseverance, there is the support of scientific theory behind each step of becoming fitter, faster, and stronger. The IGCSE PE course at Wellington College Hangzhou is the perfect combination of sports theory and practice that endows our pupils confidence in their sports activities.

Mr. Christy O’Donnell, Head of PE, will introduce in detail the IGCSE PE course in the following article and answer some of the frequently asked questions from parents.

Christy O"Donnell?

Head of PE

Please give a brief introduction to the IGCSE PE course

IGCSE PE at Wellington College Hangzhou allows our pupils to study both the practical and theoretical aspects of Physical Education. The course is designed to provide our pupils with the opportunity to participate in a range of physical activities and develop their understanding of effective performance in their own sports. It suits pupils who represent the school sports teams or play for a club outside of school. It will take their sporting prowess to a higher level while helping them understand the physical, social and psychological involvement and link to sport. We support our pupils in their learning to develop an appreciation of the necessity for sound knowledge and understanding of the principles, practices and training that underlie improved performance and the necessity for better health and wellbeing.

How important is the theoretical knowledge component of the IGCSE PE course?

There is a significant theoretical component to this course. IGCSE Physical Education at Wellington College Hangzhou provides the opportunity to study the theory behind sports and activity. This is taught in the classroom. The theory (50% of the course)?and?practical (50% of the course) combination make the study of IGCSE PE at this level exciting, challenging and enjoyable.

Pupils at Wellington College Hangzhou enjoy three lessons a week (2 classroom-based theory lessons and one practical lesson) where they study the following topics:

- Anatomy and Physiology

- Health, Fitness and Training

- Skill acquisition and psychology

- Social, cultural, and ethical influences

What is assessed in the formal IGCSE PE exam?

The theory elements of the course will be assessed at the end of Year 11 and will be worth 50% of the overall grade. In addition, a written exam, lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes, which will include a mixture of short and long answers, as well as multiple choice questions, will test pupils’ knowledge in the learnt topics that have?anatomy and physiology, health, fitness and training; skill acquisition and psychology; and social, cultural and ethical issues.

The remaining 50% of the course includes practical assessments in four different sports covering at least two categories: games; dance; gymnastics; athletics; swimming; OAA (Outdoor Adventure Activities); and combat. These four assessments will take place throughout the two-year course. For this reason, pupils must be willing to fully engage in all practical activities we offer during curriculum time and commit themselves to extra-curricular activities, or school sporting activities (SAs), to improve their performance further. We support pupils who play sports outside school, such as golf, skiing, horse riding or dance. Video evidence does have to be submitted to demonstrate the assessment criteria.

How dowe assess our pupils"performance?

Each member of the PE Department takes pride in everything that we do at Wellington College Hangzhou to support our pupil’s development in IGCSE PE and sport. We support them with their ambitions, areas of development, studies, and wellbeing, to name but a few. To ensure that pupils are successful at IGCSE, our team of specialist PE teachers draw on years of experience in their sporting fields to engage and teach our pupils everything they need to know. Continual assessment throughout the course, in the form of unit and mock exams, prepares our pupils for the rigour of the IGCSE exam, whilst enabling staff to identify and support pupils’ strengths and areas where they require development to achieve the best possible outcome.

The assessment objectives of the IGCSE PE course are as follows:

- To demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the theoretical principles that underpin performance in physical activities and sports.

- Apply knowledge and understanding of the theoretical principles to various physical activities and sports, including the analysis and evaluation of performance.

- To demonstrate the ability to select and perform appropriate skills to produce effective performance in four practical activities.

We encourage each pupil to take ownership of their learning by identifying these areas of development and completing additional revision questions and papers to ensure they can master the topics, questions, and appropriate exam techniques to be successful under the pressures of examinations.

What are the future career options after studying IGCSE PE?

If your child loves physical activity and sports, and is interested in developing their knowledge and a deeper understanding of the theoretical principles underpinning performance in their sport(s), then IGCSE Physical Education at Wellington College Hangzhou is the ideal choice. This course is excellent for building the foundations necessary for further study in Exercise and Sport Sciences, physiotherapy, PE teaching, sport psychology, professional athlete, sports analyst, sports marketing, or sports agent. Sport-related careers have increased significantly worldwide, and there’s no better foundation you require for this than studying IGCSE PE at Wellington College Hangzhou.With the IGCSE PE course, pupils demonstrate Huili’s identity, especially the identity of being?Intellectual. We support Huili pupils to move into the world with the ability to think critically and engage in deep learning. They will be able to study beyond the bounds of the PE curriculum, be inquisitive and ask questions about everything around them, and be imbued with a life-long love of learning more about sports. It is also a course that showcases the Huili value of?courage. We define courage at Huili as the ability to confront fear, pain, danger or uncertainty and take calculated risks in pursuing goodness. Every time our pupils go to the gym, the field, or the track, they demonstrate faith in themselves and perseverance and the courage to make breakthroughs and be a pioneer. We hope our Huili pupils will continue improving through the IGCSE PE learning and embrace the ever-changing world with psychological and physical strength.
