Teachers’ Teaching Competence in Sport Dance Classes in a Chinese Cultural Activity Center: Basis for a New Pedagogical Framework Model

Abstract

This paper explores the significance of teaching satisfaction within the realm of sports dance education, focusing on the learning environment of the Shijiazhuang Youth Science and Technology Culture Activity Center. With the rapid modernization of China's education system, there is an increasing emphasis on the integration of cultural knowledge and physical education. Sports dance, having been introduced to China in 1984, has gained popularity among teenagers for its blend of gentleman culture and competitive sports. Despite its deep mass foundation and widespread interest, the current quality of sports dance training in China is uneven, with a notable lack of professional teachers. This study aims to identify the factors influencing students' satisfaction with their sports dance teachers' instruction, and in doing so, enhance the overall learning experience and teaching effectiveness. By analyzing the teaching satisfaction survey of sports dance students, the paper reveals the main issues affecting the learning process and proposes suggestions to address these concerns, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of the sports dance community and the professional growth of its educators. The study underscores the pivotal role of teachers in shaping students' competencies and attitudes, not only in dance but also in fostering a comprehensive educational experience that aligns with the progressive expectations of modern society.
