In the thesis the theoretical and methodical bases of formation of the culture of health of the future teachers of physical culture in the process of continuous professional training have been considered and grounded. The health culture of the future physical culture teachers is viewed as a system of ideological ideas, beliefs, values and attitudes based on solid knowledge and established practical skills and abilities, which determine the responsible attitude to both their own health and the health of others, forming a dynamic health preserving stereotype consciousness, active behavior, aimed at preserving and strengthening of health by means of physical education.
In the content of the health culture of the future teachers of physical culture the proper place belongs to the culture of nutrition, endoecology, psycho-emotional activity, physical culture, physiological, intellectual, social-communicative, sexual culture, morality and spirituality. The axiological, communicative, normative, restorative, protective, diagnostic, corrective, creative, regulatory functions of the culture of health have been distinguished. It is determined that physical culture and physical education are considered as a solid ground for the formation of a high level of health culture among the future teachers of physical culture.
The author’s vision of the component-structural analysis of the culture of health of the future teachers of physical culture has been presented. In the structure we identified the motivational-value, organizational-activity, personal-emotional and reflexivity-assessment components, criteria and their indicators, as well as levels (high, sufficient, average, low). In the course of the research the specific diagnostic toolkit has been developed for studying the state of the formation of the health culture of the future teachers of physical culture.
In order to form the high level of the health culture of the future physical culture teachers, we have developed the pedagogical concept that includes the purpose, the main tasks, the specific guidelines, structural elements and fundamental principles, theoretical- methodological aspects and the basic planes; has significant features; it is based on specific principles of activity and has practical content and priority directions. As a result of the scientific research we have developed the system of formation of the health culture of the future physical culture teachers in the process of continuous vocational training. It represents the well-ordered set of interrelated elements of the educational process, having its own structure and organization. The main structural components of the system include the purpose, principles, approaches, author’s concept, specific forms, methods of professional training of the future teachers of physical culture, aimed at forming all components of the health culture. The structure of the system reflects the orderliness of internal and external relations between all elements, which provide its stability and efficacy.
The use of pedagogical modeling allowed to graphically reflect the leading characteristics of the system in the structural blocks (target, methodological, content, organizational, productive). The target block includes: social order and a goal. The methodological block covers principles, approaches and concepts. The content block includes the organizational-pedagogical conditions and educational disciplines of professional and practical training. The operational block includes pedagogical technologies, forms, methods and receptions. The productive block was created by the components, levels and result. The developed model has similarity with the original, replaces the system in certain relations and opens new properties of the original through the innovative possibilities of improving the process of forming the health culture of the future teachers of physical culture.
For the purpose of effective formation of the health culture of the future teachers of physical culture, we have developed scientific-methodical maintenance, which is based on the complex and integrated implementation of organizational-pedagogical conditions. We made a distinction between the range of pedagogical technologies (interactive, project, information and communication, training), which have the greatest influence on the formation of the health culture of the future physical culture teachers.
In the context of innovative methods we understand all kinds of activities that require a creative approach and provide the appropriate level of disclosure of each student and are aimed at creating the maximum level of health culture for everyone. The expediency of using interactive, problem methods, method of projects, multimedia presentations, games, trainings, creative tasks, problem situations, discussions, simulation modeling has been grounded.
