Ltd.10.26689/IEF.v4i9.15739ArticleResearch on Teaching Practice of Sports Injury Prevention Course for Physical Education Students in Higher Vocational Collegeshttps://artdesignp.com/journal/IEF/4/9/10.26689/IEF.v4i9.15739YangJun2026492026-10-20Based on the career-oriented characteristics of physical education students in higher vocational colleges and the practical needs of sports injury prevention and control, this study focuses on the optimization of teaching in the sports injury prevention course. By adopting teaching experiments, questionnaire surveys, and interviews, it systematically investigates the current teaching situation and analyzes problems in the adaptability of the curriculum system, the practicality of the teaching model, the risk prevention and control regarding students’ learning conditions, and the supervision of the evaluation mechanism. A four-dimensional optimization path is proposed, including reconstructing a hierarchical curriculum system, innovating the theory-practice integrated teaching model, strengthening the cultivation of safety literacy, and constructing a diversified evaluation mechanism. The effects were verified through one semester of teaching practice. The results conclude that the optimized teaching model can effectively improve students’ mastery of sports injury prevention knowledge and their practical handling abilities. Students are generally satisfied with the course, and their professional literacy has been significantly enhanced. This study can provide practical references for the teaching reform of safety-related courses for physical education majors in higher vocational colleges.Higher vocational physical education, Sports injury prevention, Teaching practice, Curriculum optimization, Professional literacy
