As a significant source of physical education teachers for rural and remote impoverished areas in China, government-funded physical education teacher candidates must possess high levels of professional teacher quality to meet the “new requirements” set forth for physical education teachers in the “Strong Teacher Plan for Basic Education in the New Era” and “Opinions on Comprehensively Deepening the Reform of Teacher Team Construction in the New Era.” The cultivation of teacher ethics and code of conduct is the foundation of all teacher behaviors, ensuring the teaching words and deeds, morality, and teaching activities of teacher candidates in basic education, and the key to standardizing practical teaching behavior in primary and secondary school physical education. This paper, based on interviews with expert evaluators from Sichuan Normal University, analyzes the current situation and main issues of teacher professional ethics education for government-funded physical education teacher candidates at Sichuan Normal University, dissects the influencing factors, and then proposes improvement strategies.
