ABSTRACT: During President Xi Jinping’s field inspection in Heilongjiang and the 11th collective study session of the Central Politburo, he emphasized the concept of new productivity, which aligns closely with the demand for high-quality teaching among university physical education teachers. This concept not only responds to the call to improve education quality in China but also offers new perspectives for innovation and development in sports education. Objective: This study aims to assess the impact of the new productivity concept on the professional development of university physical education teachers and explore how technological innovation and teaching method reforms enhance teachers’ professional skills and teaching efficiency. Methods: This research employs literature review, interdisciplinary research methods, qualitative analysis, and future forecasting to explore development paths for university physical education teachers from the perspective of new productivity. Results: 1) Innovation-Driven: New productivity emphasizes innovation, particularly in technology and educational methods, which can enhance student experience and engagement, meeting diverse needs and improving classroom interaction and learning efficiency. 2) High Efficiency: Intelligent teaching management systems and data analysis tools enable teachers to track student performance in real-time and adjust teaching strategies, enhancing flexibility and response speed in teaching. 3) High Quality: New productivity focuses on improving teaching quality. Physical education teachers can improve course content and teaching quality through professional assessment tools, promoting the comprehensive development of students’ physical and mental health. Teachers canadjust teaching content based on assessment results to ensure that teaching outcomes align with student needs. Summary: 1) Innovation-Driven Teaching Methods: Physical education teachers leverage cutting-edge technology to enhance learning interaction. This updated teaching approach not only increases student engagement but also helps them better understand and master complex sports skills. 2) Enhanced Educational Efficiency: Digital management systems and automation tools improve the efficiency of course management and student performance evaluation, optimizing course content and teaching layout. This allows teachers to focus more on teaching innovation and targeted instruction, thereby improving teaching quality. 3) High-Quality Teaching: New productivity emphasizes high-quality teaching output. University physical education teachers can better guide courses through new technology training and student fitness data support, achieving the goal of improving teaching quality.
