Department of Sport and Physical Education
What students gain through sports is not limited to a direct result, such as the improvement in competitive abilities or strength.
It deeply involves individual character building or motivation in life, and plays an important role in building a human society.
Through sports activities, especially during the stages of children’s growth, the intellectual education and well-balanced healthy development of mind and body are advanced and, moreover, the preciousness of the efforts towards the self-actualization and the importance of respecting other fellows or players can be taught.
Therefore, at this department we train physical education teachers who consider it important for children to grow, learning various ideas through the “body.”
