The role of various types of field training in development of health-formation competence of future specialists in physical culture and sports

Abstract

The article deals with issues of health-formation competence of future specialists in physical culture and sports in the process of various field trainings. The aim is to experimentally check the efficiency of development of health-formation competence of future specialists in physical culture and sports in the process of various field trainings. Experimental work was done in 7 universities of Ukraine that provide training for specialists in physical culture and sports; the experimental group consists of 197 students, in the control group was 197 students. The students of 1st-4th years of studies who studied on specialties “Physical Culture and Sports” and “Secondary Education: Physical culture”. Field training was conducted in 2 areas (“active training” – a course of improving sports mastery; “practice of professional development” – introductory, on the 1 year of studies (for 2 weeks); pedagogical practice on the 3 year of studies (for 6 weeks); vocational practice on the 4 year of studies (for 4 weeks). Content basis of pedagogical system (special course called “Fundamentals of Coaching and Teaching Activity”) of professional growth of specialists in physical culture and sports served as an independent experimental factor implemented in the process of professional training of the experimental group. The number of respondents from EG with low level was 12.19% before the experiment, while no such respondent was revealed after the experiment. Changes in health-formation competence were observed with students from EG. The number of students having medium level increased by 6.6%, with high level increased by 5.59%Effectiveness of knowledge formation increases due to experimental factor (р≤0,05). Based on the pedagogical experiment carried out, statistically-important changes (р≤0,05) proved positive dynamics of the development of health-formation competence of future specialists in physical culture and sports in the process of professional training within experimental group.
