Research on the Cultivation and Application of Strategic Thinking in Badminton Teaching

Abstract

Badminton, characterized by its high speed, variability, and confrontational nature, imposes higher demands on athletes’ cognitive level and tactical awareness, and relying solely on technical training can no longer meet the needs of competitive development. As a higher-order cognitive ability centered on goal attainment, system integration, and dynamic adaptation, strategic thinking provides a new research perspective for badminton teaching. Based on the theoretical foundation of strategic thinking, this study explores its value positioning in badminton teaching, analyzes the cultivation paths of strategic thinking in teaching objectives, technical training, and multidimensional teaching environments, and proposes its application models in tactical transformation, adaptation to individual competitive styles, and the extension of teaching modes. The findings indicate that introducing strategic thinking into badminton teaching not only enhances learners’ tactical acuity and adaptability but also promotes the transfer of thinking patterns and the improvement of comprehensive competence, thus providing both theoretical support and practical insights for the innovative development of badminton education.
