TITLE OF THE DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN KINETICS AND SPORTS SCIENCE (HKS), FACULTY OF EDUCATION,
UNIVERSITY OF BENIN, BENIN CITY
Rationale
Traditionally, physical education has provided the epistemological and pedagogical
framework for the study and practice of sports and related areas. Over the years, however, it
has become obvious that the professional and subject matter development of this field of
endeavour have become heavily constrained by its conceptual and operational limitations
which also made it difficult to match societal expectations in manpower development and
social services delivery.
It is a fact that our current undergraduate curriculum in human Kinetics, formally known
as Physical Education, fall far short of our nation’s needs and expectations in sports
development as a result of which its relevance to society as greatly diminished.
The driving philosophy of this reform is derived from the need to create new
programmes, using a fresh operational paradigm that would enhance the relevance of
participants to themselves and the Nigerian society in its cognate areas.
The new
undergraduate programmes are thus designed to promote the clinical, cognate and educational
competences of the participants for the good of the individual and society.
VISION
To be a foremost centre of excellence for the training and education of competent and
competitive manpower for social services delivery in human kinetics, sports science and sport
coaching.
MISSION
Our mission is to deploy knowledgeable and technically sound leadership, infrastructure
and appropriately designed and supervised programmes and experiences to produce functional
and effective personnel for needed social services in the field of sports science, education,
sports development, sports coaching and Human Kinetics.
The Department offers the following degree programmes:
i.
B. Sc (Ed) Human Kinetics and Sports Development
ii.
B. Sc (Ed) Sports Coaching and Management
iii.
B. Sc (Ed) Sports Science and Human Performance.

Programme Aims and Objectives
(b)
Rationale for Human Kinetics and Sports Development
Human Kinetics as a discipline of knowledge is focused on the study of human movement
activities with the goal of unraveling its various forms, purpose, facilitatory and constraining
factors as well as applications to life in society.
Sports present visible and diversified
experiences in the sociocultural milieu across all societies of the world. The application of
human kinetic knowledge theories and principles to sports is thus of great significance to
society. Bachelors degree programme provides a multilateral platform for course participants
to build capacity for competent application of human kinetics knowledge forms in sports
development which is a key national development objective in Nigeria. Availability of
competent manpower to effectively perform critical roles in sports development in Nigeria has
been in very short supply in Nigerian. This new programme is designed to fulfill this need.
