Abstract

The article aims to investigate the theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of project competence of future professionals in the field of physical therapy, physical education and sports in the higher education system in a comparative context. The study experimentally tested the effectiveness of the formation of project competence of future specialists in the field of physical therapy, physical education and sports in the system of higher education. The experimental works were carried out during 2019–2021 in three stages: ascertaining, forming and control. Each of the identified stages involved solving the relevant tasks and identifying the necessary research methods. Research methods: analysis of scientific and methodical literature; pedagogical observation; pedagogical experiment; pedagogical testing; methods of mathematical statistics. The ascertaining experiment was attended by 342 future physical education teachers, sports coaches and physical therapists who provide professional training in specialties 014.11 Secondary education (Physical education), 017 Physical culture and sports and 227 Physical therapies, ergo therapy. Comparison of the results of the control and experimental groups showed a positive trend in all indicators of the formation of project competence: the highest increase is provided by reflexive-evaluation and cognitive indicators, the lowest (but stable) increases by motivational and value indicators
