Abstract

From the perspective of digital transformation, this paper explores a new path for the high-quality development of the field of integration of sports and education. By using the methods of literature and logical analysis, this paper comprehensively analyzes the value connotation and current development dilemma of the field of integration of sports and education. Specifically, the study identifies several critical bottlenecks hindering progress, including the serious phenomenon of information islands that isolate data, the severe imbalance of coordination mechanisms among various stakeholders, and the persistent difficulty of the integration of management resources. Furthermore, the research highlights the inefficiency of current management practices, the difficulty of the unification of implementation standards across different regions, the non-standard operation mechanisms that disrupt workflow, the imperfect supervision mechanisms, and the overall lack of transparency and supervision in daily operations. To address these multifaceted challenges, this paper proposes a series of targeted optimization strategies. It is strongly suggested to integrate information resources to break down data silos, realize coordinated development across educational and athletic departments, and integrate management resources to release management efficiency. Additionally, policymakers must establish unified standards to realize standardized development, strengthen the supervision mechanism, and ensure transparency and fairness throughout the entire system. Ultimately, this research provides a robust theoretical framework and practical guidelines for leveraging digital technologies to foster the sustainable and high-quality evolution of sports and education integration.
