The preparedness of future primary school teacher for professional activity in physical culture: the structural-component analysis

Abstract

In modern pedagogical science, the study of the preparedness of future specialists for professional activity remains relevant. The research of many scientists has been devoted to the study of this problem in recent years. Revealing the essence of the state of preparedness of future primary school teachers for professional activity in physical culture, some authors consider it as a personal characteristic of a specialist, others as functional. Modern higher school pedagogy is faced with an important theoretical and practical task, which concerns improving the process of professional development of the personality of a teacher in general and a primary school teacher, in particular, to work on physical education. Ways and methods of forming preparedness for teacher activity among students of the pedagogical university are a complex socio-psychological phenomenon. It combines a complex of individual and psychological qualities of the personality, a certain system of professional and pedagogical knowledge, abilities, and skills. The teacher’s preparedness for work is considered a form of connection of a vocational and pedagogical orientation with the worldview, life attitudes, and spiritual values, as well as with the ethical, strong-willed, and emotional spheres. A significant drawback in this field of knowledge and practice continues to be the weak connection of theory with practice in the process of training in IHE. References to the experience of schools in the study of theory, the orientation to knowledge in the process of pedagogical practice don’t solve the problem yet, we are studying. We need special work of IHE, which would help to understand the theoretical and practical preparedness of students for pedagogical activity.
