Strategies for Fostering and Enhancing Students' Self-Directed Learning Ability in College Physical Education

Abstract

With the transformation of educational models, the cultivation of self-directed learning ability in college physical education has become pivotal for enhancing students' physical and mental qualities as well as their lifelong learning capabilities. Self-directed learning ability is not only related to the mastery of sports skills but also involves self-regulation and independent learning in areas such as physical training, sports science, and health management. However, current physical education still faces problems including a teacher-dominated instructional model, a lack of autonomy in classroom design, and a monolithic evaluation system. This paper analyzes the current status and influencing factors of self-directed learning ability in college physical education, and explores enhancement strategies such as personalized learning design, the application of information technology, and the reform of the evaluation system. Research indicates that through diversified teaching models, information technology support, and an optimized evaluation system, students' self-directed learning ability can be effectively promoted, enhancing their sports literacy and comprehensive competencies. In the future, colleges and universities should deepen teaching reforms and explore flexible and personalized learning pathways to meet the diverse learning needs of students.
