Fostering All-Round Development at HSUHK through Liberal Physical Education 香港恒生大學博雅體育推動全方位發展

HSUHK encourages students and teachers to participate in sports activities, from which Vice-President (Organisational Development) Dr Tom Fong has collected many medals over the years. 恒大鼓勵師生參與體育活動，副校長（機構發展）方 永豪博士歷年來取得多面獎牌。

“HSUHK always promotes physical education and sports intensively,” President Simon S M Ho explains, “Physical education (PE) is part of an education curriculum to develop and care for individuals’ physical and other wellbeing, while sports are activities that involve physical efforts, skills, a competitive nature, and usually outside class engagement, though the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably by the public." Sports not only strengthen our bodies, but also enhance our mental wellness and improve our study and work efficiency. Embracing its ‘Liberal + Professional’ education model in passing on professional knowledge to nurture talents in different fields, HSUHK considers sports as part of its holistic wholeperson education. Through actively building a campus with ‘Liberal Physical Education’, HSUHK hopes to realise its liberal education vision by helping students develop their physical and mental wellness and character through PE activities. HSUHK aims to achieve three goals through physical education. Firstly, to develop students’ individual physical competence and foster all-round development, thereby helping them establish an active and healthy lifestyle; secondly, to train up students’ skills in interpersonal interaction, cooperation and problem solving through quality PE experiences; and thirdly, to nurture students’ positive values and attitudes by providing them with a good foundation for lifelong and life-wide learning. Vice-President (Organisational Development) Dr Tom Fong believes that experiential learning through sports activities, being both competitive and cooperative in nature, can cultivate students’ critical thinking, caring attitudes, moral values, and social responsibility. “Physical education is both an end and a means to other objectives, and we can only benefit from it through practice. HSUHK is determined to develop PE as one of the means to promote liberal education.” 「香港恒生大學一直大力推廣體育與運動。」 何順文校長解釋說：「體育是教育課程的一部 分，旨在培養和關顧個人的身體與其他方面的 健康，而運動則是涉及體力和技術的競賽活動， 而且通常在課堂以外舉行，但公眾人士有時會 將兩者交替使用。」運動既可強身健體，亦可 促進精神健康，提升學習和工作效率。恒大貫 徹「博雅＋專業」教學模式，視體育運動為整 體全人教育的一部分，積極建立「博雅體育」 校園，透過體育活動實踐博雅教育方針，助學 生培養良好身心和品格。

恒大致力透過體育達致三方面目標：第一，透 過鍛鍊學生個人體質和促進全面健康發展，助 其建立積極健康的生活方式；第二，提供優質 體育體驗，訓練學生的社交、合作和解決問題 能力；第三，幫助學生為終身及全方位學習奠 下良好基礎，並培養積極的價值觀和態度。副 校長（機構發展）方永豪博士認為，體育運動 富競爭色彩，同時着重互助精神，這方面的學 習體驗，能培養學生的明辨思維、人文關懷、 道德價值和社會責任等良好特質。「體育本身 既是目標，也是達致其他目標的途徑，必須透 過實踐，才能收獲多方面的益處。恒大積極發 展體育，作為推廣博雅教育的其中一個途徑。」
