ABSTRACT

Physical education courses in universities are the foundation courses for promoting students' healthy growth and comprehensive development. However, the teaching of physical education courses generally only achieves superficial educational objectives, focusing solely on sports skills and activities, while neglecting the valuable Ideological and Political Education (IPE) function of physical education courses. Ideological and political education in university physical education courses (IPEUPEC) integrates the enhancement of students' ideological awareness and the establishment of ideology into physical education teaching and sports practice, fully tapping into the profound educational function of physical education courses, namely, educating minds (enhancing students' worldview, outlook on life, values, and ideological views). In this study, I elaborate on what IPEUPEC is, why China conducts IPEUPEC, why physical education course can achieve the objectives of IPE, and explore how IPE is carried out in physical education courses. The aim is to provide a new understanding of physical education concept to international higher education institutions through such theoretical explanations, promoting the high-quality development of physical education courses.
