Research on the mechanism and practical path of swimming teaching on cultivating students' mental toughness

Abstract

This paper mainly studies the value of swimming teaching to cultivate students' mental toughness and explores how it can achieve the goal of education with the help of unique teaching environment and purposeful intervention mechanism. On the basis of analyzing the current lack of students' mental toughness, this paper theoretically discusses the three mechanisms of swimming teaching to cultivate students' psychological resilience by facing fear, embracing failure, and delaying gratification, and focuses on the important role played by teachers in it, that is, creating a safe environment, decomposing teaching objectives, and reconstructing the meaning of setbacks. Based on empirical cases such as physical education reform and adaptive swimming teaching method of Peking University School of Medicine (hereinafter referred to as "Peking Medical University"), this study puts forward corresponding countermeasures for the improvement of swimming teaching from the practical dilemma and provides a certain reference for enriching the theory of physical education and optimizing teaching practice in schools.
