创新教育是社会经济发展的必然要求。学校是培养和造就创造性人才的摇篮 ,是实施素质教育、开展创新教育活动的重要基地。但目前 ,作为素质教育重要一环的创新教育并没有真正深入到体育教师的教学观念和具体的体育教学实践之中。着重分析了体育教师创新精神缺乏、丢失的原因 ,明确了创新型体育教师的主要特征 ,提出了创新型体育教师应具备的素质结构。 Innovation education is a necessary requirement of social and economic development. The school is the cradle of cultivating and bringing up creative talents, and it is also an important base for carrying out quality education and carrying out innovative educational activities. However, at present, innovative education as an important part of quality education does not really go deep into the teaching concept of physical education teachers and the specific practice of physical education. Emphasis is laid on the analysis of the reasons for the lack and loss of the innovative spirit of physical education teachers, the main characteristics of innovative physical education teachers, and the quality structure that innovative physical education teachers should have.
