A Comparative Study on General Education Courses for Physical Education Majors in Chinese Universities

In order to further promote the high-quality development of general education courses in physical education majors in Chinese universities, this article adopts methods such as questionnaire survey, literature review, and logical analysis to compare the current situation of general education courses in mainland and Hong Kong universities. The research results indicate that the goals and requirements of Hong Kong's general education curriculum emphasize the breadth and connection of knowledge, adopt diverse interdisciplinary approaches, and encourage students to explore and express themselves, while the mainland focuses more on the infiltration of cultural qualities in professional education and the supplementation and correction of knowledge. The general education curriculum for physical education majors in mainland universities tends to be more focused on the field of sports science, while Hong Kong universities focus on learning broad knowledge and offer more courses for non-physical education majors. Hong Kong universities have their own characteristics in the mode of general education curriculum.
