Introduction: Physical education (PE) curriculum reform in Taiwan has long been driven by policy mandates but lacks systematic empirical research support. This has led to limited implementation effectiveness and the increasing marginalization of PE in the education system. This study explores the critical role of Concept-Based Physical Education (CPE) in PE curriculum reform and examines how scientifically designed curricula can enhance students’physical literacy and health promotion. Methods: This study employed a narrative review approach to examine recent research related to literature and policy reports to examine the trends and challenges of PE curriculum reform in both the United States and Taiwan. It further explores the scientific foundation and empirical benefits of CPE, emphasizing the application of intervention-based research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the crucial role of teacher professional development in curriculum reform. Results: Findings indicate that the CPE model effectively enhances students’understanding of health and exercise while fostering lifelong physical activity habits. Specifically, CPE integrates knowledge with practice, allowing students not only to acquire motor skills but also to grasp fundamental concepts in health management and exercise physiology. Additionally, international case studies demonstrate that combining non-competitive sports with health education significantly improves student motivation and physical activity levels. Conclusion: This study recommends that Taiwan implement a 3- to 5- year pilot program to assess the effectiveness of policies through evidence-based data. It also suggests integrating non-competitive sports with health education to enhance students’motivation for learning and foster lifelong exercise habits. Ultimately, this study underscores the need for PE curricula to prioritize physical literacy as a core goal. Thus, it ensures the sustainability of sports education reforms and fulfilling the educational values of health promotion and lifelong learning. |
