PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF HEALTH-SAVING COMPETENCIES OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the substantiation of the conditions for the formation of health competence in future primary school teachers in the higher education system. The development of health competence of future primary school teachers is a long and complex process that requires appropriate pedagogical skills and ensures the involvement of students in the health care process. The chosen pedagogical conditions are characterized, which have a special role in the educational process of higher educational institutions. The state of research of the problem in the modern scientific literature is determined. Health competence is described as a set of knowledge, skills and values that are aimed at maintaining and strengthening health. Considering the pedagogical conditions for the formation of health competence in future primary school teachers in the process of professional training, the article emphasizes that the implementation of a set of appropriate pedagogical conditions depends primarily on its effectiveness. Thus, based on the analysis of research on this topic, we determine that the pedagogical conditions for the formation of health competence of future primary school teachers is a set of forms, methods, tools and content of teaching that affect the quality of the educational process and constitute the optimal educational environment. The following pedagogical conditions for the formation of health-preserving competence of future primary school teachers in the process of professional training are identified: increasing the motivation of future primary school teachers to health-preserving activities; creating a health-preserving environment aimed at fostering a conscious attitude to one s own health; diversification of forms of health care activities of future teachers. It is established that further research should be aimed at integrating health competencies with the components of the methodological system of teaching professionally-oriented disciplines.
