Health-preserving competence of future physical education teacher: terminological narrative in contemporary context

This article presents the results of a scientific study aimed at exploring theoretical narratives of health-preserving competence among future physical education teachers, as discussed in Ukrainian scientific research. The work marks the beginning of research in this direction, focusing on determining the possibilities of preparing future physical education teachers in higher education institutions to ensure the health preservation of students. Emphasis is placed on the importance of developing health-preserving competence as a key element among the professional competencies of future educators. The study highlights that current realities, such as the deterioration of children's health and prolonged stress due to war, make health preservation a necessary function not only for physical education teachers but also for all professionals working with children. The research indicates that the essence of health-preserving competence requires consideration through the prism of its component structure, which may be viewed differently by various scientific schools and researchers. Several approaches to understanding the structure of health-preserving competence are described, including its context in interacting with social, physical, and spiritual health, as well as different perspectives on its integrative nature and interaction with environmental conservation and self-realization. The authors stress the importance of clarifying the terms "competence" and its relation to "competency." The study also highlights a procedural approach to understanding competence based on the components of activity and associated with the formation of motivational-volitional, cognitive-value, practical- effective, and reflexive-adaptive components by future educators. As a result, two layers of competence are identified: external, which considers the integration of health preservation elements into the teacher's practical activities, and internal, reflecting the reconsideration of health values at the personal and professional levels.

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.

Managerial activity of future physical education teachers aimed at building a positive image using visual technologies

With the integration of technology and social media in education, there is increasing interest in innovative approaches to enhance managerial skills among prospective physical education and sports teachers. The integration of technology and social media into education has prompted interest in exploring innovative methods to enhance the managerial skills of prospective physical education and sports teachers. This study investigates the impact of an intervention on the managerial skills of fourth-year students majoring in Physical Culture and Sports across three educational institutions in Kazakhstan. Out of 564 participants, 355 were eligible for analysis: 167 used chatbots and 188 followed conventional classroom methods. The intervention included a 4-week team management course starting in January 2022. Chatbot users accessed various materials such as short lecture videos, stories, assignments, infographics, and audio sequences, while conventional learners attended standard lectures and practical sessions. Following the course, participants undertook a 12-week teaching practice, with chatbot users also maintaining an active Twitter presence to build a positive image as future physical education teachers. Managerial skills were assessed using a 44-item questionnaire, covering Conceptual, Human, and Technical skills. Additionally, social media popularity was measured based on Twitter activity. Results showed that both groups significantly improved their Conceptual, Human, and Technical skills after the course. Chatbot users demonstrated greater improvement in Technical skills (p = 0.003, d = 1.139), while conventional learners showed stronger Human skills (p = 0.021, d = 1.32). Specifically, the mean score for Technical skills increased from 2.71 to 3.76 for chatbot users and from 2.65 to 3.20 for conventional learners. Moreover, chatbot-aided learners further enhanced their Conceptual and Human skills through social media engagement. Correlation analysis indicated a close relationship between managerial skills and social media popularity. These findings have significant practical implications for the education and development of prospective physical education and sports teachers. Integrating chatbots and social media into educational settings offers innovative approaches to enhancing managerial skills.

Exploring pedagogies of embodiment in physical education teacher education

ABSTRACT Background Various forms of social scientific approaches to the body, utilising concepts such as embodiment, embodied identity, and subjectivity have garnered increasing attention in physical education and physical education teacher education (PETE). On this backdrop, pedagogies of embodiment have been researched as an exciting, new topic in physical education. Nevertheless, little research on the topic has been carried out in PETE. Purpose The purpose of this project was to explore how PETE students experience learning new movements and to discuss the implications of these experiences for pedagogies of embodiment in PETE. Theoretical perspective: The study is framed with the help of Richard Shusterman’s philosophy of somaesthetics [Shusterman, R. 2012. Thinking Through the Body: Essays in Somaesthetics. Cambridge University Press.]. More specifically, we have been interested in the aspect of his theory that concerns the cultivation of embodied awareness during the learning of new movement activities, in particular the concepts of pragmatic somaesthetics and feeling better are helpful. Methods we have followed a group of five students who were doing their first semester of physical education as a part of their general teacher education. We have generated and analyzed three different kinds of data from the students: (i) a written story about ‘a good physical education lesson’, (ii) a logbook from a project about alternative movement activities, and (iii) individual interviews. The data have been analyzed following the guidelines for ad-hoc meaning generation [Kvale, S., and S. Brinkmann. 2009. Det kvalitative forskningsintervju [The qualitative research interview]. Gyldendal akademisk.]. Findings A central analytical point in this paper is connection between the experiences that the students brought with them from their own histories in physical education and the experiences they had during the project where they explored a new movement activity. We have explored how this connection is expressed through emotion-words like enjoyment, fun, mastering, and more negatively loaded notions such as embarrassment and fear. We also find that the students’ express little explicit concern about learning. Rather than talking about their experiences of practising a new movement activity in terms of learning, the students mainly applied a language of mastering, which was more about having a sense of accomplishment, of being able to do something that they didn't believe they were able to do. Conclusion Based on our analysis, we argue that the ability to notice, pay attention to and language one’s own experiences of moving is a form of embodied reflexivity, which must be considered as integral to pedagogies of embodiment. As such, an aspect of pedagogies of embodiment in PETE would be the development of empathy that enable future physical education teachers to become aware of and be in tune with bodily experiences of their pupils as well as themselves.
