Abstract

The processes of reforming higher education in Ukraine have determined significant changes in the content of professional training for future professionals, aimed at developing their professional competencies. Therefore, changes in the paradigmatic level in contemporary higher education are related to changes in the basic theoretical concepts of professional training, implying the choice of the following forms, methods, and means that correspond to the conceptual core of the modern competence paradigm. The paper characterises the essence of the paradigmatic and content construct of health-saving competence of future bachelors of physical therapy, the functioning of which provides for the implementation of holistic, systemic, competence, activity, and environmental approaches as the initial theoretical and methodological foundations of the process of forming the health-saving competence of future bachelors of physical therapy, which should ensure the health protection and an appropriate level of physical therapy in the field of patient care in the future. Accordingly, relevant changes have to be made in the professional training process of future bachelors of physical therapy not only at the level of theory but also at the level of methods of such training. The four basic components of the studied phenomenon have been identified and described: value-motivational, cognitive-content, activity-process, reflective-behavioural, and there has been defined the criterion and indicator construct of their reflection in the levels of formation of health-saving competence of future bachelors of physical therapy, consisting of axiological, cognitive, technological and personal criteria and their indicators. The study proves that in the aggregate it contributes to the determination of self-assessment and self-improvement processes of formation of health-saving competence of future bachelors of physical therapy.
