Research on Optimization of Traditional Martial Arts Culture Inheritance Path and Innovation Strategies of Modern Teaching Model
Main Article Content
Abstract
Traditional martial arts face multiple challenges in inheritance and development during contemporary social transformation, including overemphasis on technical form, insufficient cultural interpretation, aging inheritors, and declining participation among younger learners. From the dual perspectives of cultural philosophy and education, this study analyzes the cognitive difficulties faced by inheritors, learners, and society in traditional martial arts education. By introducing digital technology, multiple intelligences theory, and contextualized instructional design, a modern teaching model of “cultural foundation + technological support” is constructed. A 16-week quasi-experimental study is conducted with 216 learners, using questionnaires, teaching experiments, and qualitative interviews. The study systematically evaluates the effects of multiple intelligences teaching and virtual reality immersive teaching on martial arts skill mastery, cultural identity construction, and classroom participation. The results show that the multiple intelligences teaching group significantly outperforms the control group in movement quality, cultural identity, and classroom participation. VR-based immersive teaching further enhances students’ cultural belonging. The study provides theoretical and practical support for living inheritance of traditional martial arts in education.
