The structure of methodical competence of a physical education teacher

The article reveals the theoretical foundations of the development of methodological competence of future physical education teachers during their studies at higher education institutions. The essence and structure of the concept of ”methodical competence of a physical education teacher” was identified as one of the factors of proficiency which provides the teacher with knowledge, abilities and skills of organizing physical education and health activities, health methods and technologies for providing students with motor activity, skills and conducting the educational process on the subject “Physical education”. The purpose of the article is to study the structure of the methodical competence of the physical education teacher and to establish the components that must be developed during the training of students. The analysis of scientific and methodical literature shows a large number of different approaches to determining the structure of a teacher's methodical competence. We have identified the following structural components of the physical education teacher's methodological competence: motivational-targeted, organizational-contentual, procedural-active, reflective-creative. To ensure the development of each of the components of the methodological competence of the future physical education teacher, it is necessary to: 1) to create scientifically based planning of the educational process consisting of mandatory and optional educational components at the higher education institution; 2) to ensure unity and interconnection of theoretical, methodical and practical training of students; 3) to create a high but accessible level of difficulty in training classes, quick and high- quality mastery of the technique of performing exercises and mastering the method of their improvement; 4) to create maximum activity and independence of the students during classes; 5) to combine individual and collective physical culture and health activities of the students; 6) ensure the educational process with a sufficient quantity and quality of technical and sports equipment; 7) to ensure wide use of innovative technologies of physical culture, health and sports activities. The methodical competence of a physical education teacher depends on his professional preparation while studying at a higher education institution, namely: methodical, professional-pedagogical, psychological-pedagogical knowledge as well as knowledge in the fields of physical culture, health and sports, abilities and skills, motivational and valuable attitude towards his profession. The uniqueness of the methodical competence of a physical education teacher is determined by the specifics of solving training, educational and health-improving tasks regarding the formation of physical, psychological, spiritual and social health of student youth.

Developing the theoretical model of Chinese physical education teachers' health communication competence: based on grounded theory.

Physical education teachers' health communication competence is a key factor in health promotion. Although health communication is a multidisciplinary field, medical practitioners are the primary focus of health communication research, whereas physical education teachers are marginalized. Therefore, this study proposes a theoretical model of health communication competence for physical education teachers. This qualitative research utilized interviews as the primary data collection method. Purposeful sampling was employed to select participants, including university teachers, primary and secondary school teachers, and health education professionals from diverse regions of China. A total of 31 participants were interviewed through two focus groups (N = 15) and individual semi-structured interviews (N = 16). Grounded theory was used to analyze and code the collected interview materials. The health communication competence of physical education teachers consisted of three main categories, 10 subcategories, 30 concepts, and 240 statement labels. The three main categories were as follows: (i) foundations of health communication knowledge and skills (this category encompassed three subcategories, namely sport and health knowledge reserve, health beliefs, and health behaviors); (ii) health communication perception competence (this category included two subcategories, namely health risk and crisis perception competence and communication audience perception competence); and (iii) practical competence of health communication (this category consisted of five subcategories, namely language expression competence, organizational and design competence, utilization of new media tools competence, communication content selection and processing competence, and professional skills). The theoretical model of health communication competence in this study provides a foundation for the involvement of physical education teachers in health communication work. It can serve as a reference for the development of both pre-service health education courses and in-service training systems for physical education teachers. Future research can expand the sample size and geographic coverage to further validate the applicability of the findings. Additionally, investigating the factors influencing the formation of the identified competencies is recommended.

Using immersive reality technologies to increase a physical education teacher's health-preserving competency

The article discusses the findings of study targeted at enhancing the methodology of augmented reality use for the development of a physical education teacher's competence in health preservation under post-graduate educational settings. According to Umwelt phenomenology, augmented reality is distinguished by its cognitive, metaphorical, varied, interactive, and anthropomorphic characteristics. The article examines the potential applications of augmented reality in a physical education teacher's line of work, notably in the area of health promotion. The software that could be implemented for this function has been described. The research determined that physical education teachers had a favorable attitude toward using immersive reality to protect students' health and foster the growth of their motor skills, intelligence, and creativity. The survey's findings indicate that the majority of teachers had a favorable response to the notion of using augmented reality in their professional work. However, in certain instances, there was a lack of a completely developed knowledge of this issue. The introduction of augmented technology techniques into the post-graduate education process, taking into account the anthropological, ethical, and cultural settings as well as instructor involvement in the mentioned process, could be one way to solve the problem as described.The software application "Virtual Model of Identifying the Risks for Locomotor Apparatus Caused by Ligament Stretching" has been developed based on the usage of immersive reality technologies and comprises of 5 models. Specifically, the anthropological-spatial systems that simulate joints and are utilized to help teachers grasp the dangers to the locomotor apparatus. The positive dynamics of physical education teachers' educational outcomes are characterized as a consequence of study into the effectiveness of applying virtual models as a component of a technique for developing the health-preserving competence of physical education teachers.

Web-based instruments for national competences of physical education teachers

Several studies believe that the use of national standards as a benchmark for teacher quality can align education services to achieve national goals. In addition, the number of years of teaching experience can determine teacher productivity during the course of their profession. This article explores the results of developing a teacher competency measurement instrument based on the Indonesian national standards, and evaluating teacher competency based on gender, grade, and working period. A total of 277 Physical Education (PE) teachers participated in an online survey via the web http://risetpjokindonesia.com/ to measure teacher competency. The measurement results were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha to test validity and reliability. T-test and one-way ANOVA were used to evaluate teacher competency based on gender, grade, and working period. The findings show that the measurements made are valid and reliable, so they can be used for similar measurements in the future. Gender, grade, and working period were found to affect teacher competency. The development of teacher competency based on working period provides input in the form of accuracy of the teacher professional development carried out and the limitation of the productive period of the teacher in carrying out his or her profession.

Professional competence(s) of physical education teachers: terms, traditions, modelling and perspectives

The effectiveness of (physical education [PE]) teachers on students’ school performance (as well as the effectiveness of PE teacher education [PETE]) has been studied within different research paradigms. The evidence shows that the quality of students’ school performance is strongly dependent on the (PE) teacher and the quality of their teaching. Consequently, research into the effectiveness of PE teachers and the effectiveness of PETE has become a central subject of PE research. In this regard, there has been a competence-orientated shift in research on the effectiveness of PE teachers and PETE over the past 15 years. Focusing on competence-oriented PE teacher research, it becomes apparent that this is in a consolidation phase and that the advantages of the competence construct is not fully understood. In addition, the term ‘competence’ is used differently within PE teacher research. Accordingly, this theoretical article aims to clarify the concepts within competence-oriented PE teacher research, to present the different competence-oriented PE teacher research traditions, and to generate a typology and topology model of Professional Competence of Physical Education Teachers (Compe-PET model). The model assumes that the improvement of real-world performance is achieved through the following three developmental components: (1) the qualitative improvement of the aspects of competency (e.g., professional knowledge); (2) the improvement of the situated perception, interpretation, and decision-making skills (P-I-D); (3) through the deliberative practice of implementation of the quality criteria in one’s own teaching practice. Results are discussed with implications focusing on PETE and PE teacher research.

Improving the pedagogic competence of physical education teachers

The competencies possessed by teachers have not been as expected, as evidenced by the average value of pedagogic competencies, which are still low compared to the results of professional competence scores on the Teacher Competency Test. This study aimed to develop a model for improving the pedagogic competence of Physical Education teachers which was arranged into a module that contains how to develop a learning implementation plan, how to create and use the learning media, how to create and use the teaching materials, and how to prepare and implement the learning assessments. The development tests that were carried out were: 1) alpha test, 2) beta test, and 3) final product validation. The alpha test is a product validation test by three experts, while the beta test is a load and product suitability test involving 27 teachers and 3 supervisors, followed by a final product validation stage involving 84 teachers who are divided into two groups, namely experimental and control. The research instruments used were a questionnaire and a competency improvement scale. The data analysis techniques used are quantitative descriptive data analysis, gain score data analysis, and t-test. Based on the results of the assessment at the alpha test, beta test, and program validation stages, the resulting product was declared suitable for use as a teaching material set. Furthermore, through the process of testing the effectiveness of the product, the model of increasing pedagogic competence based on teaching materials is proven to be effective and can significantly improve the pedagogic competence of Physical Education teachers.

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

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.

Competences of a physical education teacher (on the basis of selected aspects from the experience of school education in Ukraine – pedagogical aspects)

The article is devoted to the issues of competences of physical education teachers in Ukraine. An analysis of selected issues of Ukrainian scientists in the field of theory and practice of the competence of a physical education teacher conducting their professional activity in primary and secondary schools of Ukraine was carried out. In most of these works, the professional competence of a teacher is defined as a system of the following components: theoretical professional knowledge, practical skills, ethical and moral attitudes, professional abilities and predispositions as well as professional experience. The work also presents, on the basis of many years of research, the results of the author’s own analysis of the level and scope of competences of a physical education teacher, which allowed for the selection of basic groups of competences necessary to practise this profession: praxeological, communication, creative, IT and ethical/moral competences. By using these competences, a physical education teacher is ready for effective didactic and educational activities at school. The level of competence of a physical education teacher is significantly conditioned by: the scope of professional experience (an important place in this context is occupied by the period of professional adaptation, which significantly determines the effectiveness of the teacher's work and professional identification), the policy of reforming the school education system (the teacher's attitude towards reform measures directly affects their individual professional situation) and the location of the school. Competences are constantly verified, and their level is checked in specific teaching and upbringing situations.
