Abstract

With the continuous development of the society, physical education for junior students has been paid attention to by the state, and physical activity as an important part of physical education has also undoubtedly been paid high attention to. Physical education is an important part of physical education, and as such, it has been given high priority. Lower primary students are at a critical stage in their physical growth, and it is also an important time for them to develop good learning behaviors.From the starting point of sports activities, to explore its impact on the learning behaviour of primary school students, which is worthy of attention and research, this paper takes the lower primary school students as the research object, studies the characteristics of students' sports behaviour and learning behaviour, through the combination of questionnaire surveys and empirical research, to explore the correlation between the lower primary school students' sports activities and their learning behaviors.Through the "Questionnaire on the Basic Situation of Physical Activity for Lower Primary School Students", we understand the current frequency, preferences, concerns and knowledge of physical activity of lower primary school students, and design a scientific and reasonable physical activity teaching plan according to the research results, and prepare the "Questionnaire on the Current Situation of Learning Behaviour of Lower Primary School Students" by combining the existing literature and experts' interviews to measure the learning behaviour of primary school students in five dimensions of classroom attitudes, independent learning, disciplinary performance, learning mentality and cooperation awareness. The questionnaire measures the learning behaviour of primary school students in five dimensions: attitude to class, independent learning, disciplinary performance, learning mindset and cooperation awareness. The learning behaviors of the lower primary students in the experimental and control groups were measured before and after the 3-month intervention period, and the changes in students' behaviors under the conditions of the physical education practice activities were counted. It was found that the intervention content had a significant effect on the development of learning behaviour in the experimental group, especially in the areas of independent learning, discipline and cooperation. It was found that the students in the experimental group basically developed good learning behaviors.
