Aims

This module is designed to provide students the opportunity to develop an understanding of the theory of physical education, with particular reference to sports generality, physical training theory and methods, as well as sociology of sports. In order to fulfil the requirements of the Ministry of Education in China, students must have understanding of these wider theories and their links to physical education. Upon completion of this module, students will understand the background theory as well as how to apply these to their teaching of physical education.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Describe key components of sports generality and the underlying theory/theories that are linked to physical education and is needed to meet the requirements of the MoE in China for physical education.
2.
Describe the different physical training methods and the underlying theory to each, linking them to physical education and is needed to meet the requirements of the MoE in China for physical education.
3.
