Abstract

The objective of this paper is to investigate the possibility of forming the professional competence of physical education teachers in a university of architecture and engineering. At the beginning of the experiment the baseline level of teachers' professional competence was determined in order to form the control and experimental groups among them. In the control group the formation of competence of teachers was carried out by taking professional development courses according to the «standard» program, according to which the participants were given lectures, seminars on various modules of the program, having to complete a course with a final qualifying paper on a selected topic. Teachers in the experimental group were trained according to the professional development programme, taking into account the developed model of competence formation. At the end of the training the previously studied indicators were tested in both groups and the data obtained was then compared. As a result, it was found that the professional competence level of teachers in the experimental group increased significantly compared to this in the control group. Thus, it showed that to be able to form teachers' professional competence «standard» professional development programmes currently implemented by Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering are not enough. For effective formation of competence it is necessary to have a special technology of teachers' training, which is implemented in the developed pedagogical model of formation of teachers' professional competence.

Highlights

  • IntroductionAs a result of preliminary research, it was established that one of the main problems in the implementation of modern requirements of Federal State Educational Standards (FSES) is the low level of competence of teaching staff and coaches and lack of motivation among them to improve it [3-5]

  • The experiment was organised as follows: at the first stage we studied scientific and methodological literature on the problem of research, determined the tools and methodology of the study; at the second stage, taking into account the analysis of the literature, we developed a model for the formation of professional competence of physical education teachers in architecture and engineering higher education institution; at the third stage we conducted experimental research on the formation of teachers' professional competence, taking into account the application of the developed model, analyzed the data obtained and formulated conclusions on the results of the work

  • A widespread method for enhancing teachers' competences is the completion of a professional development programme; this approach is applied at Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering

Summary

Introduction

As a result of preliminary research, it was established that one of the main problems in the implementation of modern requirements of FSES is the low level of competence of teaching staff and coaches and lack of motivation among them to improve it [3-5] This statement is confirmed by questionnaires and surveys of students on the quality of physical education (PE) teaching at universities, which are reflected in the following results: ineffective methodology of teaching PE or its complete absence, when after the warm-up part of the lesson students are «left to themselves»; lack of interest of students in both academic and independent exercises in PE (according to survey results, passivity and unwillingness to do PE is observed in 55-60 % of the cases).
