Comparative Study of Physical Education Teaching in Middle Schools at Home and Abroad Using Clustering Algorithm

Abstract

Physical education in middle school is very important for teenagers, so it is also crucial to understand the differences between PET (Physical Education Teaching) systems in middle schools at home and abroad. The frontier and hotspot of PET research in middle schools at home and abroad are examined in this paper using citation analysis, information visualization, and cluster analysis, as well as CiteSpace software. The findings show that PET method research in China is qualitative, whereas PET method research in middle schools around the world is quantitative evaluation and empirical research. Domestic research hotspots focus on classroom instructional design, whereas foreign countries focus on load identification theory’s application in instructional design. Frontier research in the United States is dispersed and covers a wide range of topics, whereas research in other countries focuses on cognitive load theory. The classification time of this improved algorithm is reduced by 190.97 seconds when compared to the traditional KNN algorithm, and the total time is increased by more than 50%. According to the findings, nonsports or nonsports influencing factors should be given more consideration in the study of adolescent physical fitness decline in China.
