Readiness for Professional Activities of Future Physical Education Teachers

The theoretical study of the professional training of physical education teachers considers this process as a dynamic one, in which educational goals are realized and the necessary competencies are formed. An important aspect is the creation of an integrated system of continuous learning that promotes personal development and training of personnel in various areas of educational activity, taking into account the needs of participants in the pedagogical process. The training of a future physical education teacher at a pedagogical university has its own specific characteristics, depending on the chosen specialty. The content of this training includes the implementation of an integrated pedagogical process aimed at nurturing the physical culture of an individual. This requires an expanded interpretation of the content of pedagogical education and the identification of components of readiness for professional activity: motivational, theoretical and practical-creative. Each of these components performs certain functions and is relatively independent. The motivational component is responsible for the desire for professional growth, the theoretical component is responsible for mastering knowledge and skills, and the practical-creative component is responsible for the application of this knowledge in practice. Such a structure provides the opportunity to implement various types of professional and pedagogical activity. The problem of defining the essential characteristics of a physical education teacher's readiness for professional activity is not new, but there is no single interpretation. It is often identified with other categories, such as preparedness, competence and professionalism. These characteristics determine the requirements for the teacher's personality and his/her work activity. The results of this study are of practical importance, since their theoretical provisions create the prerequisites for the scientific substantiation of the training of future physical education teachers. This includes the implementation of a holistic pedagogical process of developing students' physical education, which is relevant in the context of modern educational requirements.
