Abstract

The paper considers the urgency of solving the problem connected with the development of prospective teachers’ readiness to introduce schoolchildren to the values of physical culture in the context of preserving man as a social being and as a biological species. The values of physical culture are considered as a prerequisite for achieving a harmonious combination of bodily and spiritual principles in a person, as a condition for the full-fledged existence of a schoolboy, a student. Specific values of physical culture are singled out: «human motor activity», «human life», «health», «healthy lifestyle», «culture», «perseverance in achieving the goal», «moral perfection», «self-realization», etc. The author presents a structure of prospective teachers’ readiness to familiarize schoolchildren with the values of physical culture, including cognitive motivational-value and activity components. Opportunities of «Pedagogy» for the development of prospective teachers’ readiness to introduce students to the values of physical culture in theoretical and practical aspects are revealed. The theoretical aspect is the allocation of physical culture values at the scientific material level of «Pedagogy» sections (section «Introduction to pedagogical activity» - the values «human life», «culture», «persistence in achieving the goal», «self-determination», «self-organization» and others, section «Solving professional problems» - the values of «health», «healthy lifestyle», «perseverance in achieving the goal», «prestige of physical culture and sports», «freedom», «justice», etc.). The practical aspect is examples of development of prospective teachers’ readiness to introduce schoolchildren to the values of physical culture during lecture and seminar classes in the sections «Solving professional problems» and «History of pedagogical thought in Russia and abroad». The conclusion is that the values mastered by the students will become the reference points for the education of the schoolchild who responsibly relate to their own health and the health of the surrounding people.
