Professional training of future physical education teachers in higher education institutions as a relevant issue of modern science and educational practice

Abstract

The aim of the research is to theoretically substantiate the professional training of future physical education teachers in higher education institutions as a relevant problem of modern science and educational practice. Research methods: theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature and normative documents, analysis, synthesis, and generalization. Results: The study identifies aspects that influence the quality of physical education and its impact on the overall development of students as a component of the professional training of future physical education teachers in higher education institutions. Key aspects include changes in the role of physical education in modern society and the incorporation of modern pedagogical methods and technologies into the education of the younger generation. According to scientific findings, the structure of professional competence of a physical education teacher is outlined. The main reasons for the relevance of professional training for future physical education teachers in contemporary science and practice are defined. Key professional competencies of future physical education teachers are highlighted: methodological, pedagogical, technical skills, adaptability to different conditions and individual needs of students, inclusiveness. Conclusions. The professional training of future physical education teachers in higher education institutions is a multifaceted problem that requires a comprehensive approach. It involves preparing educators who are well-versed in modern pedagogical methods, technology integration, inclusiveness, sports science, and psychology. By focusing on these aspects, educational institutions can ensure that future physical education teachers are adequately prepared to meet the growing needs of students and contribute to their overall development. Thus, the preparation of future physical education teachers in higher education institutions is crucial for ensuring high-quality physical education, promoting health, and fostering the physical development of the younger generation. Future research is needed to define the specific features of forming professional competencies for future physical education teachers.
