Modular training of future physical education teachers: designing school mini-football sections through visual modeling and load algorithmization

The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate, develop, and experimentally verify the effectiveness of modular training technology in preparing future physical education teachers for the independent design of extracurricular sectional work. Research methods and organization. The experiment was conducted from 2024 to 2026. The research base consisted of two comparable universities: Sevastopol State University (SevSU) as the experimental group and Surgut State Pedagogical Institute (SSPI) as the control group. A specialized module of 108 hours was added to the curriculum of the experimental group. The training was based on a combination of subject-modular modeling of tactics (on magnetic boards) and step-by-step load dosing through printed planning templates. Data collection was carried out using paper-based tests and expert assessments, and statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-square test and the Wilcoxon T-test. Research results and conclusions. Final testing showed that in the experimental group, no students remained at the threshold (low) level of readiness, while the proportion of students with an advanced level increased to 76.67%. At the same time, 60.00% of participants in the control group remained at the low level. Through the use of station-based zoning techniques, the average motor density of training sessions designed by students in the experimental group reached 78–84%, whereas in the control group this figure was only 42–48%. Modular training proved its high developmental effectiveness. This approach allows for the timely elimination of professional deficits in future organizers of school sports.
