Abstract

Under conditions of considerable degradation of health of the nation, the problems of professional training of future physical therapy specialists at higher educational institutions become more topical. Therefore, the problem of developing the special educational conditions of training of future physical therapy specialists for the use of healthpreserving technologies does not lose its relevance. The purpose of the study is to analyse the key educational conditions of training of future physical therapy specialists for the use of health-preserving technologies. To meet the specified purpose the author used a complex of research methods, in particular, theoretical methods: analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodical literature, methodological documents; generalisation of the results of scientific research; synthesis of scientific theories, approaches and conceptions. Considering the current state of training of future physical therapists for the use of health technologies, it is established that the development of appropriate pedagogical conditions is promising. Among the latter, the author identified the following: stimulating interest in the study of health technologies by conducting tours and organising communication with well-known instructors during the educational process; development of the cognitive basis for the use of health technologies during interactive lectures, work in microgroups, solving situational problems, building schemes, individual, and group health programmes; practical use of available theoretical knowledge in the process of classroom (role-playing games, mutual learning with further analysis of video materials) and quasiprofessional (introduction of health technologies in educational practice) activities; introduction of an appropriate system for assessing the quality of training of future physical therapists for the use of health technologies in the educational process
