Abstract:
With the deepening of higher education reform in the new era, core literacy has become an important
goal in cultivating high-quality talents within China’s educational system. College physical education courses, especially basketball courses, not only carry the fundamental function of improving students’ physical fitness but
also play a unique role in enhancing teamwork spirit, communication ability, rule consciousness, and innovative
thinking. The traditional model of college basketball teaching focuses excessively on skill training and
competition performance, while neglecting the cultivation of students’ comprehensive literacy, resulting in
insufficient interest, low participation, and limited effectiveness. Guided by the educational philosophy of core
literacy, this paper systematically analyzes the problems existing in the current teaching of college basketball
courses, elaborates on the necessity and practical significance of reform, and constructs a scientific and
reasonable reform path from the dimensions of curriculum objectives, teaching content, teaching methods, and
evaluation system. The study concludes that by centering on student development and highlighting the
comprehensive value of basketball in cultivating core literacy, it is possible not only to enhance students’ athletic
skills but also to effectively promote their social adaptability and lifelong physical literacy, thereby providing
useful reference and guidance for the reform of college physical education.
