HISTORICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE FORMATION OF THE PED-AGOGICAL CULTURE OF SPORTS TEACHER

Abstract

The foundation of global innovation processes taking place in the system of higher education is the students' motivated assimilation of technologies for obtaining scientific information and the ability to implement their knowledge in professional activities. With this in mind, the educational process in a modern higher education institution is aimed at training a competent specialist, mobile in the labor market, literate and knowledgeable in the field of digital technologies, which have significantly changed the picture of the world and the paradigm of education.

The stage of development at which pedagogical theory and practice is today is characterized by a state of variability, constant dynamics, which requires from the teacher creativity as a normative professional attribute of the individual, and from the student - the ability to effectively and critically process huge masses of information.

The objective logic of the development of the modern socio-cultural and pedagogical situation suggests the need for thorough general pedagogical training. The depth of understanding of the content of professional-pedagogical and general-pedagogical training, in particular, involves changing the external and internal forms of its detection.

Similar processes began in Ukraine in the mid-90s of the 20th century under the influence of a complex set of external factors, primarily the political and socio-economic reorientation of society. The Ukrainian education system is gradually changing its orientation towards integration into the European educational space. This encourages the development of an appropriate strategy, taking into account the peculiarities and achievements of the domestic education system and the search for real opportunities for rapprochement with the European education system.

In the Education Development Concept for 2015-2025, the main direction is to bring the structure of education, which is the subject of public consensus, into compliance with the needs of the modern economy and the integration of Ukraine into the European economic and cultural space.

In the report on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of UNESCO, it is also noted that in the future a decisive role will belong to education that forms the appropriate competences (political, social, intercultural, communicative, informational and technological, the ability to learn throughout life) in its graduates. In the program document of UNESCO «Reform and development of higher education» (1995), it is emphasized: «At the current stage, no country without the training of specialists of the appropriate level... can provide a level of progress that would meet the needs and expectations of society, in which economic development is carried out taking into account the need to provide for the environment and is accompanied by activities to form a «culture of the world» based on principles of democracy, tolerance and mutual respect...» (Bekh, 2005). 

The article analyzes the historical and cultural approach to the implementation of the principle of historicism to solve educational and cultural problems. The components that form methodical culture, taking into account innovative ideas and values of the past periods of development of educational thought in Ukraine, are determined. The necessity of connecting the history of pedagogical science with the real problems of the theory and practice of modern pedagogy, in particular the formation of the pedagogical culture of a sports teacher, is proven.

A humanities university, in particular a sports profile, should offer a scheme not only for the assimilation and use of knowledge already in the process of learning and pedagogical practice, but also for their understanding of the unity of general pedagogical disciplines. The need for integrated forms of pedagogical knowledge, its use and problems are caused by the restructuring of higher education to new standards. The idea of dismantling outdated educational standards on the world market and in Ukraine can be implemented through the idea of humanitarian universities.

This idea involves changes to increase the array of general knowledge along with professional knowledge. The integration of knowledge will contribute to the distribution of creative material according to the individual learning trajectories of education seekers, modeled for the purpose of their psychological and pedagogical support as subjects of activity, in particular sports.

The current teacher/trainer has a high level of not only professional, but also general pedagogical training. General education does not mean "all-knowing", but the entire ability of thinking, covering the connection of separate fields of knowledge. The teacher integrates different fields of scientific knowledge in practical actions to understand himself and teach students to solve complex economic, social and cultural problems.
