摘要

The competition method is an effective teaching method to practice by setting competition rules in the process of PE teaching. It can be regarded as a method to practice according to competition rules and competition forms under the approximate and simulated or real and strict conditions. It is also a method that is used widely in PE courses and the effects of this method are much better. The learning effects of students refer to learning interest of students and skills of students in this paper. In order to find a way to help students who are taking special tennis courses to improve interest and strengthen skills during tennis practicing courses, the method of literature, the method of questionnaires, the method of data statistics, the method of interviewing and the method of experiments are used in this paper. The twenty-four experimental participants whose major are PE education and social PE come from three different PE colleges. The competition method was used in teaching during the process of experiment to test whether the competition method can really improve learning effects of students who take special tennis courses or not. The result shows that the competition method is obviously good for students to arouse interest of learning tennis. The result also shows that the competition method may not be effective to improve learning skills of students within the short time of teaching tennis by the competition method.
