歷史沿革 History and Development

國立臺灣師範大學體育與運動科學系 (Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences，以下簡稱本系) 前身為民國35年設立之省立臺灣師範學院四年制體育科，為臺灣第一個專責培育體育師資的學系。民國37年改制為體育學系；民國43年擴編為體育衛生教育學系，下設體育學組與衛生教育學組，開始同時培育體育及衛生教育專業人才。
The Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences (PESS) at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) traces its origins back to 1946, when the four-year Physical Education Program was established at the then Taiwan Provincial Normal College, becoming the first program in Taiwan dedicated to training physical education teachers. In 1948, it was reorganized as the Department of Physical Education. By 1954, the department expanded into the Department of Physical and Health Education, comprising two divisions, Physical Education and Health Education, beginning the simultaneous training of professionals in both fields.

民國48年，體育學組復名為體育學系，自民國54年起正式招生，並開放運動績優學生以保送方式入學，提供運動選手進一步深造的機會。民國59年成立全國首創之體育系碩士班，民國79年再度領先成立博士班，開啟培育國內最高學術層級體育專業人才的新里程碑。
In 1959, the Physical Education division was renamed the Department of Physical Education, and in 1965 it officially began admitting students. Outstanding athletes were also granted admission through a special recommendation system, providing opportunities for further development. In 1970, the department established Taiwan’s first master’s program in physical education, followed by the country’s first doctoral program in 1990, marking a new milestone in cultivating the highest-level academic professionals in the field of physical education and sports in Taiwan.

民國90年，運動與休閒學院成立，下設體育學系、運動與休閒管理研究所 (現為運動休閒與餐旅管理研究所)、以及新設的運動競技學系，體育學系自此由教育學院轉隸於運動與休閒學院。
In 2001, the College of Sport and Recreation was established, comprising the Department of Physical Education, the Graduate Institute of Sport and Recreation Management (now the Graduate Institute of Sport, Leisure, and Hospitality Management), and the newly established Department of Competitive Sports. From that point on, the Department of Physical Education was transferred from the College of Education to the College of Sport and Recreation.

隨著本校由師資培育型機構轉型為綜合型大學，本系除持續肩負體育師資培育使命外，亦積極拓展至體育運動學術研究、行政管理與產業發展等多元領域。為呼應國際學術社群共識，並彰顯跨域整合與多元發展的定位，本系於民國110年正式更名為「體育與運動科學系」，並於民國114年將英文系名更新為 「Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences」。新系名兼顧師資培育傳統與運動科學的人文及自然科學內涵，更加契合本系國內外的發展方向，有助於學生多元化專業成長。
As NTNU evolved from a teacher-training institution into a comprehensive university, the department has continued its mission of training physical education teachers while actively expanding into diverse fields such as sports sciences research, administration, and industry development. In response to international academic consensus and to highlight its interdisciplinary integration and multifaceted development, the department was officially renamed the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences in 2021 (Chinese-language name updated in 2021; English name updated in 2025). The new name reflects both the department’s tradition in teacher education and its focus on the humanities and natural sciences within sport and exercise sciences, better aligning with its domestic and international development and fostering the broad professional development of its students.

七十餘年來，本系為臺灣體育運動發展與師資培育奠定深厚基石。本系使命在於透過教學、研究與服務，推動體育運動知識的傳播、擴展與應用，並持續培育兼具專業素養與領導能力的多元人才。
For over seventy years, the department has established a solid foundation for the development of physical education and sports as well as PE teacher training in Taiwan. Its mission is to promote the dissemination, advancement, and application of knowledge in physical education and sports through teaching, research, and service, while continuously cultivating diverse talents who demonstrate both professional competence and leadership skills.
