In the context of the new era, the fundamental task of "cultivating virtue and fostering talents" has driven the deep integration of course-based ideological and political education in public sports teaching in universities. Tai Chi, as a carrier of Chinese excellent traditional culture, its course-based ideological and political construction is an important path for achieving value guidance. This paper, from the perspective of value guidance, takes the performance evaluation of public sports Tai Chi courses in universities as the research object, and adopts research methods such as literature review, questionnaire survey, interview, and logical analysis to systematically explore the current evaluation status, core issues, and optimization paths. The research finds that the current performance evaluation of public sports Tai Chi courses in universities has been initially carried out, but there are problems such as a single evaluation subject, an incomplete indicator system, fixed evaluation methods, and insufficient application of results. The deep causes stem from the three levels of cognition, system, and practice. Based on this, from the five dimensions of evaluation indicator system, evaluation subject mechanism, evaluation method, result application and feedback, and guarantee system, specific optimization paths are proposed to improve the quality of performance evaluation of public sports Tai Chi courses in universities, realize the coordinated education of sports literacy and value guidance, and provide theoretical and practical support for implementing the fundamental task of "cultivating virtue and fostering talents". It also helps to implement the "cultivating virtue and fostering talents" fundamental task.
