Abstract

The article deals with some aspects of theoretical training of future specialists of physical culture and sports in the “college-university system”. The basic requirements to the level and quality of the specialists’ preparedness for future professional activity are analyzed and the criteria for their evaluation are determined. An overview of the structure of vocational training is conducted and its main components are determined. They are: personal, motivational, cognitive and praxiological components. The article examines the cognitive component, the formation of which is estimated by the mental criterion, because it reflects the level of theoretical willingness of future specialists of physical culture and sports and their readiness for professional activity. These components are interrelated and play an exceptional role in the whole training system. The research is based on determining the level of theoretical knowledge (mental criterion) of the students of the third course of the faculty of physical education in the disciplines of the cycle of vocational training, which are studied on the first and second courses of the university and the first – third courses of the college of the respective specialty. Thus, it is found that college graduates who continue their studies in the university demonstrate a higher level of theoretical knowledge. This result can be explained by the fact that they are already graduates, ready for practical activity and continuing their studies at the university’s senior courses is a improving of their theoretical knowledge and practical skills at a higher professional level. This testifies to the effectiveness of the “college-university system” itself, but provided that the educational process has to be organized exclusively on a continuity basis. This circumstance should be one of the reasons while determining the directions of optimization of the substantive implementation of professional disciplines in the “college-university system” and the expediency of further researches in this direction.
