Abstract

The Moston reciprocal teaching method is one of eight student-centered approaches to physical education proposed by American sports educator Musca Moston in his teaching book physical education, the basic idea is to divide the students into two groups in physical education. The teachers will explain and demonstrate the movements, and then practice separately in groups. In view of the low participation and poor interaction of students in traditional teaching methods, this study aims to change this phenomenon through this new teaching method. The subjects of this study were Beijing University of Chemical Technology students in public sports basketball classes. This study conducted a 16-week teaching experiment on 30 college students through a variety of scientific research methods, including literature, questionnaire, statistical and experimental methods, in which the experimental group adopted the Moston reciprocal teaching method and the control group adopted the traditional teaching method. The results showed that the experimental group was significantly better than the control group in terms of basketball skills. This finding supports the effectiveness of the Moston reciprocal teaching method in improving students' basketball skills and learning motivation. This study suggests that more interactive and participatory teaching methods should be adopted in college physical education, and calls for more extensive research on the applicability of the Moston reciprocal teaching method in different sports and different student groups. Through these findings, this study provides a new perspective and practical guidance for the reform of college physical education.
