Strategies to Improve Graduate Students' Physical Literacy from the Perspective of Five-Dimension Educating Integration

Abstract

General Secretary, at the 2018 National Education Conference, stressed building an education system which comprehensively
fosters students' all-round moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic grounding with a hardworking spirit. He emphasized that we must
adhere to the path of socialist education with Chinese characteristics and focus on nurturing capable young people well-prepared to join the
socialist cause, achieving all-around development in these fi ve areas. In addition to moral and intellectual education, physical education,
aesthetic education, and labor education are equally indispensable. They play an extremely important role in guiding students to establish a
correct worldview, outlook on life, and values, helping students to deeply understand the integration of sports and cultivation, the unity of
art and science, and the value of labor and life. They also foster a good sports spirit, cultivate aesthetic consciousness, enhance the pursuit of
beauty and artistic literacy, and develop a respect for and love of labor.
Physical education for graduate students, as a key pathway to improve the national physique and promoting physical and mental
health, is increasingly highlighted in the higher education system. However, physical education for graduate students still faces a series
of challenges, including issues with physical health, low participation in physical exercise, lack of autonomous motivation for physical
exercise, outdated sports concepts, insuffi cient physical education curriculum settings, and uneven allocation of sports facility resources.
This article aims to deeply analyze the main problems faced by physical education for graduate students and proposes corresponding
strategies to assist in the high-quality development of graduate education.
