Qi Nie, Songlin Xie
This paper aims to analyze and explore the current development status of early childhood physical education in modern China and the various influencing factors, including social culture, educational policies, and economic development. Through a questionnaire survey of 100 early childhood physical education practitioners and employing methods such as descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and regression analysis, the study found that various factors influence the development of early childhood physical education to varying degrees. The questionnaire survey revealed significant correlations among the main factors influencing the development of early childhood physical education. Regression analysis further indicated that economic prosperity and government policies are the primary driving forces behind the development of early childhood physical education, while the introduction of Western sports ideologies also plays a positive role in this process. Social reforms and openness play a crucial role in the improvement of physical education for children. In conclusion, the development of early childhood physical education in China is the result of the combined influence of multiple factors. In the future, there is a need to pay more attention to the coordinated development of economy and culture in policy formulation, while actively introducing and absorbing advanced sports ideologies and practices of the new era.
