Currently public physical education courses in universities is facing some dilemmas: the integration of physical education teaching and socialist core value education is not adequate; the awareness of public physical education teachers of socialist core value education needs to be improved; and the standards for socialist core value education evaluation needs to be refined.

Key words: universities, public physical education courses, integration of socialist core value education in course curriculum, event group training theory, core value education
