Abstract

In this paper, innovation is seen as a driver of growth and wellbeing. New technologies, products, services and organizations create jobs and rejuvenate industries. This also presents new opportunities for innovation and improvement in education systems. The paper, therefore, delved into some strategies for education innovation. It was explained that schools need to become places where diverse talents are recognized and nurtured and every student made to feel special. This will give each student opportunity to realize their full potential and succeed on their own terms. Again, innovative education brings about personality development since the creative capacity of students also manifest. Another strategy is that higher education must be developed to adapt and transform the status and ability of students to create the future. The paper further looked into some new strategies for physical education and sport. It was explained that since sports education is for all students, assessment should be a variety of sports and three-dimensional. In addition, the use and operation of multimedia design reflects the innovative aspect with the development of technology in physical education. Another new strategy is that physical educators must be engaged in high quality and sustainable professional development. This can be achieved through developing dynamic and high standard physical education programme that will consider content knowledge, instructional strategies and methods to create an individualized learning environment that meets the needs of your diverse student population. Another section in the paper looked at the teaching method and innovation of physical education. To enhance the implementation of innovative education, the people-centered education must make way for student-centered, teacher-led education which gives full play to the initiative of students. There is also the need to enhance students’ physique by exploring the teaching methods that will affect the students learning enthusiasm and initiative. The paper touched on the personalized sports teaching methods. Here, emphasis was placed on the fact that teaching method design should be changed from “teaching” to “learning method” and the teaching methods changed from “Professor” to “guide”. Some recommendations were made for the experts and appropriate stakeholders to take actions.
