MONITORING THE SITUATION OF HEALTH CULTURE OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF PHYSICAL CULTURE: CRITERIA AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Abstract

The article analyzes the essence of monitoring, which serves as a tool for comprehensive diagnostics of students’ professional training as future specialists in physical culture. It has been found out that competently organized monitoring will provide the study of the state of the formation of the health culture of future teachers of physical culture and will enable to predict the range of specific indicators. It has been established that the quality of information received through monitoring should be objective, reliable, complete, accurate, adequate, accessible and timely. From a practical point of view, monitoring is focused on the state of formation of specific indicators of the motivational-value component of the health culture. It is the indicators that make accounting and recording of the results available. The main focus is on the characterization of the state of formation of indicators such as the ability to positively motivate themselves and the formation of value orientations. To determine the state of formation of these indicators, during the monitoring study, a specific diagnostic toolkit was developed. Summarizing the presented information, we believe that monitoring can be a real tool for collecting and processing information about the state of health culture of future teachers of physical culture. The results of the study indicate that students have a general idea of the importance of a health culture for fulfilling their professional tasks, and are aware of the need for improvement. It was found that interviewed respondents understand that their future professional activities are related to the need to have a high level of health culture, but they are not able to form it. Consequently, the carried out monitoring proved that future teachers of physical culture do not deny the importance of a health culture, but it was found that the formation of a motivational sphere is spontaneous and needs to be improved.
