Value Implications, Current Dilemmas and Practical Paths in the Teaching and Research Activities of Physical Education Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools

To maintain and realize the goals and tasks of physical education (PE) teaching and research in primary and secondary schools in the new era, it is necessary to focus on the teaching and research activities of PE teachers. The study finds that the value implications of the teaching and research activities of PE teachers in primary and secondary schools includes promoting the high-level development of PE teaching and research, leading the teachers' sustainable growth, improving the accurate solution of PE teaching problems, and serving the implementation of the teaching reform of PE curriculum in basic education. The participants in the teaching and research activities of PE teachers are reward power leaders (PE teaching and research staff), authoritative power ruler (primary and secondary school principals), reference power holders (external sports experts) and related stakeholders (primary and secondary school PE teachers' peers, students). And, the influencing factor are the binding factors (institutional regulation), active factors (value orientation), and mediating factors (the role of the situation) . On the other hand, the practical dilemma of teaching and research activities of PE teachers in primary and secondary schools are shown as followed: ① The teaching and research willingness and conditions of PE teachers are insufficient; ② The teachers' responsibilities and task objectives are unclear; ③ The administrative tendency of teaching and research management and operation is obvious; And ④ there is an excessive utilitarianism of PE teaching and research evaluation system. It is proposed to improve PE teaching and research system and working methods, strengthen the construction of PE teaching and research teams, clarify the admission standards for PE researchers, reshape the value concept of PE teaching and research and optimize its guarantee mechanism. The other practical paths include establishing the research status of PE teachers and breaking their habitual concepts of teaching and research.
