Forming communicative competence of the future physical education teachers during the educational process

Abstract

The article shows that the formation of the communicative competence of physical education teachers is an integral part of their professional training, which requires deep knowledge of the Ukrainian language. In literary sources, communicative competence is considered as the ability of the teacher to establish and maintain contact with students; a set of knowledge, skills, and abilities in various communicative situations; linguistic, non-linguistic, and communicative skills necessary in the process of education. The purpose of the articleis to substantiate the theoretical basis for the communicative competence formation of the future physical education teachers during their study at a higher education institution. At higher education institutions, physical education teachers gain general speech competence in the process of mastering professional activities, self-realization in learning, achieving the goals set, and understanding the essence of their future profession. The profession of physical education teacher is clearly focused on communicative competence, which involves direct communication with students, their parents, and teachers. The communicative competence formation of the future physical education teachers concerns the teacher's communication with students in real-life educational activities that ensure the development of self-awareness (talents, abilities, activity, motivation, attitude to the external environment, etc.). Among the pedagogical conditions for the formation of communicative competence of students in the process of professional training, we considered normative guidelines for the improvement of pedagogical activity and obtaining new pedagogical knowledge, skills, and abilities in the field of physical culture and sports, including communication; content, forms, methods, pedagogical techniques, and logistics support of the educational process, which are aimed at solving educational problems; natural, social, external, and internal influence upon the physical, moral, and mental development of students, their behavior and education; the means of a systematic increase in the students' motivation for physical culture, healthy lifestyle, and professional activity at the new Ukrainian school. The formation of the communicative competence of the physical education teacher undergoes certain stages during the study at a higher education institution and professional training for the teacher to reach the highest level of professionalism and pedagogical competence.
