Sociology and philosophy are the fundamental platform for study of physical education and sport. This programme aims at equipping students with a philosophical mind and serves as tool for the critical examination of the subject. This programme initiates participants into considering current and possible future practice in the teaching of physical education in schools and promotion of sport in society by three sub-disciplines: philosophy, sociology and history in physical education and sport. Apart from a global perspective, the social and historical contexts of mainland China, Macau and Hong Kong will also be investigated.
