Methodological Principles of Identifying Indicators of Key Competences of Physical Education Discipline

Abstract

Given the fact that the development of key competences of physical education discipline plays an important role in nurturing students' key competences, the current study is designed to give a close observation on characteristics of physical education, exploring into the method of identifying every dimension of key competences and their level of development in physical education and meanwhile making corresponding reasonable explanation. The methodological analysis of identifying indicators of key competences of physical education discipline cover several aspects, including theoretical preconditions, a theoretical framework and the way applied to identify the indicators. It is found in the study that the identification of key competences should abide by a principle of being concise, influential and concordant as well as a combination between quality and quantity. Besides, the operability, measurability, weights among indicators and development levels of different indicators should all be taken into consideration. It is hoped that the study can be helpful for improving the assessment technology and the standard system in identifying indicators, which will enable it possible to better describe, explain, monitor, predict and finally improve students' key competences of physical education.
