Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.

In the light of recent interest for world-class sports achievement in Singapore, the responsibility of the local schools is to engineer the environment for academic and sporting excellence. By then examining existing literature, the authors identified various themes that have been frequently attributed as necessary ingredients for pedagogic and coaching success. These variables - school culture, role of the principal, teachers, peers, facilities, and recognition - were then validated through a case study of an eminent local student-athlete. The writers hope that the validation of these variables will inspire schools towards sporting and academic excellence in Singapore.

有鑒於新加坡近來對世界級運動的熱烈追求,本地學校有責任塑造一個有利於卓越學術和體育的環境。在參考了現有的文 獻後,作者指出幾個敎學法和實踐敎導的成功要素。這些要素通過一個出色學生運動員的個案加以驗証。作者希望通過這個驗証個案,能讓學校受到啟發,朝向卓越體育和學術的方向邁進。
