ABSTRACT

To address the problem that teaching models, which primarily rely on fixed routines and passive imitation, fail to fully stimulate students' potential for active learning and creativity, this paper introduces the teaching concept of "using competitions to promote teaching and learning." Combining an integrated learning, practice, and competition curriculum with a diverse faculty strategy, this study aims to comprehensively improve students' skill and movement accuracy, creative creativity, and teamwork through classroom group competitions, periodic practical exercises, and independent creative training. Results show that after eight weeks of intervention, the experimental group performs significantly greater than the control group on all indicators (p<0.001), demonstrating that the "using competitions to promote teaching and learning" model significantly enhances students' abilities across all dimensions. Improvements in skill mastery and creative creativity are particularly pronounced, with the experimental group's standardized movement scores and total creative scores approximately 16 and 6 points higher than the control group, respectively. These results demonstrate that this teaching model effectively improves students' skill mastery, creative ability, and psychological well-being, while also enhancing teamwork awareness. This approach provides a feasible path and practical reference for the reform of aerobics courses in higher vocational colleges.
